Your calculator says error because you cant have a square root of a negative number because there is no solution to that maybe recheck your equation and try again
there are two expressions that can represent the length of the rectangle, these two expressions are:
L = x
or
L = (4x + 12)
<h3>
Which expression could represent the length of the rectangle?</h3>
Remember that for a rectangle of length L and width W, the area is given by:
A = L*W
In this case, we know that the area is:

We can factorize that expression into:

So there are two expressions that can represent the length of the rectangle, these two expressions are:
L = x
or
L = (4x + 12)

you're absolutely correct.
each system is sold for $2150, that includes cost + markup, namely the markup is the surplus amount otherwise called "profit".
they sold 12 of those, 2150 * 12 = 25800
they had $4824.36 in profits from it, so if we subtract that from the sale price, we'll be left with the cost of all 12 systems
25800 - 4824.36 = 20975.64
that's the cost for all 12 systems sold, how many times does 12 go into 20975.64? 20975.64 ÷ 12 = 1747.97.
Let x be the initial width, then the initial length is x+20.
<span>If Elise decreases this length by 8 feet, she will get the new length x+20-8=x+12.
</span>
If Elise increases the width by 10 feet, <span>she will get the new width x+10.
</span><span>
</span><span>The new perimeter will be x+12+x+12+x+10+x+10=4x+44=172, 4x=172-44, 4x=128, x=128÷4, x=32.
</span><span>
</span><span>The initial width is 32 ft and the initial length is 32+20=52 ft.
</span><span>
</span><span>The new width will be 32+10=42 ft, the new length will be 32+12=44 ft.

Hi!
So, it looks like you're doing ratios.
Let's look at 9). If the model car is 4 inches long, and 1 inch equals 4 feet, than the actual car is 16 feet long. We know this because 4x4=16.
11) is also just as simple. If 1 cm is 11 km, and the two cities are 99 km apart, then on the map they are 9 cm apart. 11x9 is 99.
13) This is a 1:2 ratio. Basically, the flagpole's shadow is half of its height. You half the man's height to get a 3 foot shadow.
And, finally, 15)- if the model is 4 inches to the real life train's 3 feet, the actual train is 120 ft long, given that the model is 40 in long. 40x3=120.
I hope this helps! :)
