Use the area of rectangle formula which is:

\displaystyle \large \tt{A = width \times length}

Given that:

  • area of rectangle = 16
  • width = 8
  • length = x-5

Substitute in the formula:

\displaystyle \large{16 = 8 \times (x - 5)} \\  \displaystyle \large{16 = 8(x - 5)}

Distribute 8 in the expression:

\displaystyle \large{16 = (8 \times x) + (8 \times ( - 5))} \\  \displaystyle \large{16 = 8x - 40}

Move -40 to another side and change from -40 to 40.

\displaystyle \large{16 + 40 = 8x} \\    \displaystyle \large{56= 8x} \\

Then move 8 to divide 56, leaving only x.

\displaystyle \large{ \frac{56}{8} = x} \\    \displaystyle \large{7 = x} \\

Hence, the answer is:

\displaystyle \large \boxed{x = 7} \\

How would I go about solving this?
garik1379 [7]
If you draw more of those triangles, there will be 6 that can fit, so find area of 1 triangle and multiply it by 6. Write that number down and then do Pi r squared to find the area of the circle, then do circle area minus triangles area when you get that, divide it by 6. That is the area of the white region so then do Pi R squared again and then subtract the white area from that

The perimeter of a pool is 96 feet. If the length of the pool is 3 times its width, what is the width of the pool? Labeling the
k0ka [10]

Answer:

12 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the area of the pool be Length×width

There will be 2lengths and 2widths as well so the perimeter of the pool will be the addition of all the sides of the pool i.e 2L + 2W = 96... (1)

And since the length of the pool is 3 times its width, we have

L = 3W... (2)

Substituting equation 2 into 1 to get the width 'W'

2(3W) + 2W = 96

6W + 2W = 96

8W = 96

W = 96/8

W = 12feets

The width of the pool is 12feets

How do you write in numerals
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

<h2>Basic numbers</h2><h3>Numbers up to nine should always be written in words, anything higher than nine can be written in numerals. Alternatively, some guides suggest that if you can write the number in two words or fewer then use words rather than number.</h3>
