Question

The length of the rectangle is 5/6 of inches and the width of the rectangle is 2/15 of inches. What is the area of the rectangle?​

Answer 1

W = X in.

L = (3x - 6) in.

A = L*W = (3x-6)X = 45,

3x^2 - 6x = 45

3x(x-2) = 45,

x(x-2) = 15,

x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0

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

x-5 = 0,

x = 5 in.

x+3 = 0,

x = -3.

Solution Set: x = 5, and x = -3.

Select + value of X:

x = 5

W = x = 5 in.

L = 3x-6 = 3*5 - 6 = 9 in.
