Answer:
OA and OC hope that helps :)
2x+x-7+3x-20=87cm
6x-27=87
6x=114
x=19
Therefore the sides are:12cm, 38cm, and 37cm
5x+40 factors to 5(x+8). Notice how distributing the 5 back through to each term in the parenthesis gives
5 times x = 5x
5 times 8 = 40
So 5*(x+8) = 5*x+5*8 = 5x+40
Therefore, the factors are 5 and (x+8).
The dimensions of the sandbox are 5 feet by (x+8) feet.
We don't know the numeric value of (x+8) since we don't know the value of x, so we leave it as is.
Answer:
To get an expression relating to x you need to have x alone on one side of your equation. ie x =
Try this:
rx - st = r
remove st from the rx side
rx = r + st
now divide by r
x = (r + st)/r
You now have your expression relating to x
