If this is your equation:

Solution:
LCD for 5 and 5x is 5x




←cross product
20x + 30 = 5x² + 25x ←simplify with distributive property
0 = 5x² + 5x - 30 ←use inverse operations to collect all terms on one side
0 = x² + x - 6 ←if possible divide by numerical GCF (This case 5)
0 = (x + 3)(x - 2) ←Factor
x = -3 or x = 2
Please check by substitution in original equation... Both work
Answer: The length is 12 feet and the width is 4 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the bedroom closet.
Let W represent the width of the bedroom closet..
The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
The perimeter of the bedroom closet is 32 ft. This means that
2(L + W) = 32
Dividing through by 2, it becomes
L + W = 32/2
L + W = 16
The area of the bedroom closet is 48 ft². This means that
LW = 48 - - - - - - - -- - - - - - 1
Substituting L = 16 - W into equation 1, it becomes
W(16 - W) = 48
16W - W² = 48
W² - 16W + 48 = 0
W² - 12W - 4W + 48 = 0
W(W - 12) - 4(W - 12) = 0
W - 12 = 0 or W - 4 = 0
W = 12 or W = 4
L = 16 - 4 = 12
22
Starts with 6
Adds 2 for 8 weeks (2*8 = 16)
16 + 6 = 22
The perimeter of parallelogram WXYZ is 22
The equation for the parabola would be:
