#17: A rectangular shape has an area of 150 square units. The sides of the
rectangle measure (x + 3) and (x - 2). What is the value of x? (Type the final
answer as x=# without any space. Example: x=35 If there are two possible
values of x, write the final answer as follows: x=35 and x=36) *

The value of x is 12

The dimensions of the rectangle are given as:

The area is given as:

The area of a rectangle is:

So, we have:

Expand

Subtract 150 from both sides

Factorize the above equation

Solve for x

or

The value of x cannot be negative.

So, the value of x is 12

The only possible value of x is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular shape has an area of 150 square units. The sides of the rectangle measures  (x + 3) and (x - 2).  The value of x can be computed below

area of a rectangle = length × breadth

area = 150 unit²

The sides are  (x + 3) and (x - 2)

Therefore,

(x + 3)(x - 2) = 150

x² -2x + 3x - 6 = 150

x²+ x - 6 = 150

x²+ x - 6 - 150 = 0

x²+ x - 156 = 0

(x - 12)(x + 13) = 0

Therefore,

x = 12 or x = -13

It cannot be - 13 because the sides cannot result to negative . We are left with only 12.

x = 12

The only possible value of x is 12

the most boring thing ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.

answer: 16

step-by-step explanation: first you would add 6+6 which equals 12 then add 2+2 which equals 4. then add 12 + 4 which is 16.

hope this ^_^
