Answer:
150
Step-by-step explanation:
L=16
W=21
Set up a systems of equations:
x=length
y=width
xy=336
x+5=y
Use substitution to solve:
x(x+5)=336
x^2+5x=336
Solve using factoring:
x^2+5x-336=0
(x-16)(x+21)=0
x=16 and x= -21
Since length can't be negative, l=16
To find width, plug length into the first equation:
(16)y=336
y=21
So...
L=16

the answer is c. rectangle
Answer:
x = 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
7 x - 15 = -2 x
Add 2 x to both sides:
7 x + 2 x - 15 = 2 x - 2 x
2 x - 2 x = 0:
7 x + 2 x - 15 = 0
7 x + 2 x = 9 x:
9 x - 15 = 0
Add 15 to both sides:
9 x + (15 - 15) = 15
15 - 15 = 0:
9 x = 15
Divide both sides of 9 x = 15 by 9:
(9 x)/9 = 15/9
9/9 = 1:
x = 15/9
The gcd of 15 and 9 is 3, so 15/9 = (3×5)/(3×3) = 3/3×5/3 = 5/3:
Answer: x = 5/3
