Solve the equation
5x - 12 = 3 (x+ 6)

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-12=3(x+6)   =  5x-12=3x+18

+12 on both sides

5x=3x+30

-3x on both sides

2x=30

2x/2=x

30/2=15

x=15

b is 38 degrees.

a is 52 degrees.

this is because if b is 38 and a is 14 degrees more than b than 38+14=52 and 52+38=90 degrees. hope this .

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'
