The area of a rectangle is 6x^3 – 30x^2. What is the length of the rectangle if the width is 2x(x – 5)?

Respuesta :

x^2 + 8x +15 is the area

x+5 is the length

x+3 is the width

(x+5)(x+3)=

x^2 + 3x +5x +15

x^2 +8x + 15


Hope this helped!!!!

So since the area of a rectangle is A=bh, we just need to form our equation off of that. Our equation will look like this: [tex] l*2x(x-5)=6x^3-30x^2 [/tex]


Firstly, divide both sides by 2x(x-5): [tex] l=\frac{6x^3-30x^2}{2x(x-5)} [/tex]


Next, factor 6x^3-30x^2: [tex] l=\frac{6x^2(x-5)}{2x(x-5)} [/tex]


Next, cancel out (x-5): [tex] l=\frac{6x^2}{2x} [/tex]


Next, expand 6x^2: [tex] l=\frac{3*2*x^2}{2x} [/tex]


Next, divide and your answer will be: [tex] l=3x [/tex]
