(3x + 4) / 4 = x - 3
3x + 4 = 4x - 12
-x + 4 = -12
-x = -16
x = 16

Check:
(3x + 4) / 4 = x - 3
(3*16 + 4) / 4 = 16 - 3
(48 + 4) / 4 = 13
52 / 4 = 13
13 = 13

14. The area of a rectangle is 375 square inches and it’s perimeter is 80 inches. Find both the length and width.
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Length  =25 inches

Width = 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = length of rectangle, w = width of rectangle

Given the area and the perimeter of the rectangle, we can write:

lw = 375

2l+2w=80

So:

l+w = 80\div2

=40

l=40-w

Now, we can use substitution to find the value of w:

lw = 375

(40-w)w = 375

40w-w^2 = 375

375+w^2-40w = 0 (Quadratic equation)

(w-15)(w-25) = 0

∴ w = 15, 25

We can use substitution again to find the value of l

lw = 375

l=375\div w

=25,15

∵ Length usually refers to the longer side of a rectangle, ∴ length =25 inches and width =15 inches.

Hope this helps :)

Solve the following equations for x -11=3-7(x-1)
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

x = 21/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

x - 11 = 3 - 7(x - 1)

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

<u>Distribute -7:</u> x - 11 = 3 - 7x + 7

<u>Combine like terms:</u> x - 11 = 10 - 7x

<u>Add 7x on both sides:</u> 8x - 11 = 10

<u>Add 11 on both sides:</u> 8x = 21

<u>Divide both sides by 8:</u> x = 21/8
