Answer:

 x = 5, x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation 0 = 4(x - 3)2 - 16.

Using binomial theorem, (a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2 to expand (x - 3)2.

0 = 4(x2 - 6x + 9 ) - 16.

Using distributive property to multiply 4 by x2 - 6x + 9.

0 = 4x2 - 24x + 36 - 16.

Subtract 16 from 36 to get 20.

0 = 4x2 - 24x + 20.

4x2 - 24x + 20 = 0.

Divide both sides by 4.

x2 - 6x + 5 = 0.

To solve the equation, factor and rewrite as x2 + ax + bx + 5

a + b = -6, ab = 1(5) = 5.

a = -5, b = -1.

Rewriting x2 - 6x + 5 as

(x2 - 5x) + (-x + 5)

Factor x in the first and -1 in the second group.

x(x - 5) - (x - 5)

Factor out common term

(x - 5)(x - 1)

By solving the above, we get

x = 5, x = 1

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The first pump empties half the pond in 3 hours, so in 1/6 that time (1/2 hour), it empties (1/6)·(1/2) = 1/12 of the pond.

The second pump empties the other 5/12 of the pond in that half hour, so has a pumping rate of (1/2 h)/(5/12 pond) = (6/5 h)/pond.

The second pump could do the entire job alone in 1 hour and 12 minutes.

Can anyone solve this? If so tell me and make sure u know what ur doing please
raketka [301]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line, you need to find the \frac{rise}{run} between two points. I will be using the points (-3, 2) and (-1, -2).

\frac{rise}{run} = \frac{-2-2}{-1-(-3)}

     = \frac{-2-2}{-1+3}

     = \frac{-4}{2}

     = -2

The perimeter of a trapezoid is 39a – 7. Three sides have the following lengths: 9a, 5a + 1, and 17a – 6. What is the length of
Airida [17]
We know the perimeter is the total sum of all sides of the shape, we can use this to form an equation: the perimeter=1st side + 2nd side + 3rd side + 4th side 39a-7=9a+(5a+1)+(17a-6)+4th side.
Collect like terms to get 39a-7=31a-5+4th side
If we move everything but the 4th side over to the left we can solve 
C. 8a-2=4th side is the correct answer
