Question

Find the value of x for the rectangle

perimeter=26 meters
rectangle one the bottom is (x+3) m
on the right side of the rectangle (2x-6)m

Answer 1

(x+3)(2x-6)=26

2x(to the second power)-18=26

2x(to the second power) -18-26=26-26

2x(to the second power)-44 = 0

x=square root of 22,x= negative square root of 22

decimal form : x = 4.69042,x= -4.69042
