Answer:
x= 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify so you can isolate x quicker: 2x-5=5x-6
subtract 2x from both sides: -5=3x-6
add 6 to both sides: 1=3x
divide both side by the 3 to isolate x: 1/3=x
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
Answer:
(x+12)(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula use: a²+bx+c
- Make one side equal to zero:
Original:
-7x-60 =x² +10x
New:
x² + 17x + 60
New:
(1)x x 60 = 60
- Find factors of 60 that when added, equal to 17.
New:
10 × 6, 60 × 1, 20 × 3, <u>5 × 12</u>, 4 × 15
5 times 12 equal 60, but when added equal to 17.
- Replace the 17 with 5 and 12
New:
x² + 5x + 12x + 60
- Break them off into two equations
New:
x² + 5x l 12x + 60
- Divide each equation into it's simpilest form. Make sure the numbers in the ( ) are the same.
New:
x(x + 5) l +12(x+5)
Answer:
1) D. 
2) E. The coefficient of
is -16.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) A polynomial is an algebraic expression of the form
, where
is the grade of the polynomial. In this case, the only equation that satisfies this definition is:

Correct answer: D
2) Let
, we proceed to expand the expression by algebraic means:


We see that coefficients for
and
are -16 and 0, respectively. Hence, the incorrect answer is E.
Answer:
difference in area = 16 ft²
if you use 8 the difference in length between Jack patio and his neighbor patio will be will be 15 - 13 = 2 ft
if you use 13 the difference i length will be 25 - 18 = 7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Jacks rectangular patio
width = a
length = 2a - 1
area = lw
where
l = length
w = width
area = 120 ft²
a(2a - 1)
2a² - a - 120 = 0
(a - 8) (2a + 15)
a = 8 or -15/2
Ron's rectangular patio
width = a
length = a + 5
area = lw
area = 104 ft²
a (a + 5) = 104
a² + 5a -104 = 0
(a + 8) (a - 13)
a = -8 or 13
How many square feet longer is jack patio longer than Ron's patio is the difference in their area. Therefore,
120 - 104 = 16 ft²
The value 8 or 13 can be used for a since the width a have to be the same.
if you use 8 the difference in length between Jack patio and his neighbor patio will be will be 15 - 13 = 2 ft
if you use 13 the difference i length will be 25 - 18 = 7 ft
