Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write ratios to help us solve
4x 12 +3
---------- = ------------
3x+1 12
Using cross products
4x*12 = (3x+1) * (15)
48x = 45x +15
Subtract 45x from each side
3x =15
Divide by 3
3x/3 =15/3
x=5
3 feet 8 inches converted to inches is 3x12+8=44inches
44inches times 4 pieces is 176 inches.
176 inches converted back to feet and inches is 176/12=14 feet 8 inches so he would need 15 feet of board
X^2 + 8x + 16 =
(x + 4)(x + 4) or (x + 4)^2
