What is the width of the rectangle shown below?
4x + 3
A = 8x2 – 10x – 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width

Given parameters

Area A = 8x2 – 10x – 12

Length of the rectangle = 4x+3

Required

Width of the rectangle.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula

8x2 – 10x – 12  = (4x+3)*width

width = 8x2 – 10x – 12 /4x+3

S

Factorizing the numerator

8x² – 10x – 12

= 2(4x²-5x-6)

= 2(4x²-8x+3x-6)

= 2(4x(x-2)+3(x-2))

= 2(4x+3)(x-2)

Width = 2(4x+3)(x-2)/4x+3

Width = 2(x-2)

Width = 2x-4

Hence the width of the rectangle is 2x-4

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
