1. Regroup terms
x(x+5)=104
2. Expand
x^2+5x=104
3. Move all terms to one side
x^2+5x-104=0
4. Factor x^2+5x-104
(x-8)(x+13)=0
5. Solve for x
x=8 or x=-13
Since x<0 is not possible in this case, x=8
6. Finding the dimensions
We know that one side has to be x+5, and now that we know x:
8+5=13
13*8=104
The dimensions are 13 and 8, have a nice day :D
Answer:
The answer is choice A and here's why
The 2/5 outer most exponent means that we can break it down into 2*(1/5). The 2 is going to apply as an exponent for the whole parenthesis group. The 1/5 indicates we have a 5th root (similar to a square root or cube root,but instead of 2 or 3, it's 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution to your problem is m>-2
b = base length (of triangle)
h = height of triangle
s = side length of triangle
l = length of rectangle
