1. Regroup terms
x(x+5)=104
2. Expand
x^2+5x=104
3. Move all terms to one side
x^2+5x-104=0
4. Factor x^2+5x-104
(x-8)(x+13)=0
5. Solve for x
x=8 or x=-13
Since x<0 is not possible in this case, x=8
6. Finding the dimensions
We know that one side has to be x+5, and now that we know x:
8+5=13
13*8=104
The dimensions are 13 and 8, have a nice day :D

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the length of a vector/line in your case.
The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its side lengths.
P=2(L+W), we are told that L=3W and P=176 so
2(3W+W)=176
2(4W)=176
8W=176
W=22 ft, since L=3W
L=66 ft
So the yard is 22 feet wide and 66 feet long.
Answer:
Simplifying
x = -25
Step-by-step explanation:
Reorder the terms:
10x + -6(5 + 2x) = 20
10x + (5 * -6 + 2x * -6) = 20
10x + (-30 + -12x) = 20
Reorder the terms:
-30 + 10x + -12x = 20
Combine like terms: 10x + -12x = -2x
-30 + -2x = 20
Solving
-30 + -2x = 20
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '30' to each side of the equation.
-30 + 30 + -2x = 20 + 30
Combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0
0 + -2x = 20 + 30
-2x = 20 + 30
Combine like terms: 20 + 30 = 50
-2x = 50
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = -25
