If a garden box is x by x square feet and the area is three times the perimeter what is the value for x?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The area: x^2
\n" ); document.write( "the perimeter 4x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3x^2 = 4x
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by x
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"4%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1\"1%2F3\" ft
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this:
\n" ); document.write( "Find 3 time the area: 3(1.33^2) ~ 5.3
\n" ); document.write( "Find the perimeter: 4(1.33) ~ 5.3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "He sorry that I got this backwards, it should be
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 3(4x)
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 12x
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
