A rectangular front porch has a perimeter of 30 feet. Its area is 50 square feet. What are the dimensions of the porch?

5 ft x 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

2w+2l=30

lw=50

l=50/w

2w+2(50/w)=30

2w+100/w=30

2w^2+100=30w

2w^2-30w+100=0

w=5, 10

Therefore, the dimensions are 5x10

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
