The area of Alex's room is 168 square feet. If his room is a rectangle and one side is 12 feet, how long is the other side. Write an equation to find the missing length of Alex's room. Let x = missing length in feet

Solve to find the missing length of Alex's room

the missing length is 14 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = L × W

168ft² = 12 × W     - divide both sides of the equation by 12

                             - 168 ÷ 12 = 14

168ft² = 12 × 14

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
