Divided by 0 on both sides
The answer is 10.5
Hope I Helped!
Answer (2 answers):
x = -2/5, x = -14/5
Step-by-step explanation:
First step is to try and get the absolute value by itself on one side and everything else that's not inside the absolute value on the other side.
9|5x+8|=54
|5x+8| = 54/9
|5x+8| = 6
Remember how absolute values turn everything positive? For example
|-4|=4, but |4|=4 as well. So we must do the same to our problem by splitting up the absolute equation into two parts.
|5x+8| = 6 and |-(5x+8)| = 6
now solve the first equation.
(Just remove the absolute value sign and solve it normally)
5x+8 = 6
5x = -2
x = -2/5
Now solve the other equation
-(5x+8) = 6
-5x - 8 = 6
-5x = 14
x = -14/5
P = 2(L+W) where L = Length and W = Width.A = L*WYou are given that P = 300m and A = 5000 sq.m. so plug these values into the two equations thus:300 = 2(L+W)5000 = L*WNow you have a system of equations with two unknowns.Solve equation 1a) for LL = 150-W now substitute this into equation 2a) and solve for W.5000 = (150-W)*W Simplify this.W^2-150W+5000 = 0 This quadratic equation can be solved by factoring, so...(W-100)(W-50) = 0So W = 100 or W = 50Now we need to find L and we can use equation 1b.L = 150 - W and, if W = 50m, then:L = 100m or, if W = 100m, then:L = 50m.The dimensions of the garden are: 100m by 50m
