Answer:

The length is 18 and the width is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of the rectangle are

Width: x-2

Length: x

To find the perimeter get all 4 sides and add them all up

x-2+x-2+x+x=68

4x-4=68

x=18

The length is 18 and the width is 16

Sqrt(2x-6)=3-x<br> Solve for x

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{2x - 6} = 3 - x$

Square both sides of the equation

$2x - 6 = (3 - x)^{2} = 9 - 6x + x^{2} \\$

$x^{2} - 8x + 15 = 0\\$

(x - 3)(x - 5) = 0

x = 3 or 5

Now, you must always check your results because a result may not satisfy the original equation.

If x = 3, then $\sqrt{2x - 6} = \sqrt{2(3) - 6} = \sqrt{6 - 6} = \sqrt{0} = 0$ and 3 - x = 3 - 3 = 0

So 3 satisfies the original.

If x = 5, then $\sqrt{2(5) - 6} = \sqrt{10 - 6} = \sqrt{4} = 2$ , but 3 - x = 3 - 5 = -2. Therefore, 5 does NOT satisfy the original equation.

That means that x = 3 is the solution to the equation.

The first one is the bottom right multiply 7.50*h or the hours to find the cost
and the second one is bottom left you start at 0 and advance 0 the multiply or add 67*2=134 then 67*5=335 and then 67*9=603 so you have your numbers 0,134,335,603
