let's say that C is "x" units farther from B, that means that CB = x, and therefore AC = 1.5x.
<span>1/4(x + 16) - x =
First, distribute the 1/4.
= 1/4x + 1/4 * 16 - x
= 1/4x + 4 - x
= 1/4x + 4 - 4/4x
= 1/4x - 4/4x + 4
= -3/4x + 4

First, distribute the 1/4.
= 1/4x + 1/4 * 16 - x
= 1/4x + 4 - x
= 1/4x + 4 - 4/4x
= 1/4x - 4/4x + 4
= -3/4x + 4
Answer:
Dimensions of the rug = 13 ft × 26 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimensions of the room = 21 ft × 34 ft
Area of the room = 21 × 34 = 714 ft²
Cynthia wants to leave a uniform strip of floor around the rug.
Let the width of the rug = x ft
Then the dimensions of the rug will be = (21- 2x)ft × (34 - 2x)ft
Area of the rug = (21 - 2x)×(34 - 2x) square feet
338 = (21 - 2x)×(34 - 2x)
338 = 714 - 68x - 42x + 4x²
4x² - 110x + 714 - 338 = 0
4x² - 110x + 376 = 0
2x² - 55x + 188 = 0
2x² - 47x - 8x + 188 = 0
x(2x - 47) - 8(x - 47) = 0
(x - 4)(2x - 47) = 0
x = 4,
For x = 23.5 area of the rug will be negative.
Therefore, x = 4 ft will be the width of the rug.
Dimensions of the rug will be 13 ft × 26 ft.
