Question

The area of a carpet is 36x -12 square inches. If the width of the carpet is 3x - 1 inch, what is the length?

Answer 1

The length is (36x -12)/(3x - 1) in

Explanation:

Given data

Area A=
`36x -12 in^2`

Width W=
`3x - 1 in`

we know that the area A= length * width

i.e A= L*W

we can solve for the length by making it subject of the formula

L= A/W

L=
`(36x -12)/(3x - 1) in \\\`
