Answer:

x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8(1.5x−6)=2x−0.5(24−16x)

(8)(1.5x)+(8)(−6)=2x+(−0.5)(24)+(−0.5)(−16x)(Distribute)

12x+−48=2x+−12+8x

12x−48=(2x+8x)+(−12)(Combine Like Terms)

12x−48=10x+−12

12x−48=10x−12

Step 2: Subtract 10x from both sides.

12x−48−10x=10x−12−10x

2x−48=−12

Step 3: Add 48 to both sides.

2x−48+48=−12+48

2x=36

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2=36/2

x=18

Answer:

x=18

Given that a room is shaped like a golden rectangle, and the length is 29 ft with the ratio of  golden rectangle being (1+√5):2, thus the width of the room will be:
ratio of golden triangle=(length if the room)/(width of the room)
let the width be x
thus plugging the values in the expression we get:
29/x=(1+√5)/2
solving for x we get:
x/29=2/(1+√5)
thus
x=(29×2)/(1+√5)
answer is:
x=58/(1+√5)
or
 byrationalizing the denominator by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by (1-√5)
58/(1+√5)×(1-√5)/(1-√5)
=[58(1-√5)]/1-5
=(58√5-58)/4
