<PRE><B>Question 193742</B>
 Can you help me solve these problem. Find the value of x wherein the perimeter is 30 and the length is x+6 which is inside the radicand and the width is 6. thanks a lot.
----------------------
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
30 = 2(sqrt(x+6) + 6)
15 = sqrt(x+6) + 6
sqrt(x+6) = 9
x+6 = 3 or x+6 = -3
In either case x is negative.
