8z = 64
divide both sides with 8
8z ÷8 = 64÷8
therefore,
z = 8.
X^2 and 5x both have x in common to factor out. To add or subtract them, 5x^2 is the least common denominator .
Answer:
The distance added to each dimension is 2 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial dimensions of the rectangular fence is 8 yards by 4 yards.
The initial area of the rectangular fence = area of a rectangle
area of a rectangle = length x width
So that,
The initial area of the fence = 8 x 4
= 32
The initial area of the fence is 32 square yards.
But, with the new dimensions, area = 60 square yards.
(4 + x) x (8 + x) = 60
+ 12x + 28 = 60
+ 12x - 32 = 0
(x + 14) = 0 or (x - 2) = 0
x = -14 or x =2
Thus, x = 2
The distance added to each dimension is 2 yards.
<span>1x + 2x = 15
3x = 15
3x/3 = 15/3
x = 5
Gemma = 1x, Zak = 2x therefore Gemma = 5 and Zak = 10</span>
