Q:
Please help the answer are 124XX+4-1616X+12X^2
Accepted Solution
A:
Step 1:
x² + 4x = 192
Step 2:
Take x common:
x ( x + 4) = 192
Length is x and width is x+4
Step 3:
x² + 4x - 192 = 0
Step 4:
x² + 16x - 12x - 192 = 0
x(x+16) - 12(x+16) = 0
(x-12)(x+16) = 0
⇒ x=12, x=-16
Because the length can't be -16, the length is 12.
