The area is given by
A = (5 + 2x) * (10 + 2x) - 50
Rewriting we have:
A = 50 + 10x + 20x + 4x ^ 2 -50
Rewriting we have:
A = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
Substituting the value of the area we have:
54 = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
Rewriting:
4x ^ 2 + 30x - 54 = 0
We look for the roots:
x1 = -9
x2 = 3/2
We take the positive root:
x2 = 3/2
Answer:
the value of x is:
x = 3/2
Answer:
12y = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
(ab+4a-6)+(ab+6)
= ab+4a-6+ab+6
= 2ab+4a
= 2a(b+2)
