Answer:

the dryer costs $450

step-by-step explanation:

w + d = 831

w = d-69 (they told us we will have to take $69 from the cost of the dryer to determine the cost of the washer)

(d-69) + d = 831

Let's combine like terms

2d - 69 = 831

add 69 to both sides to solve for d

2d = 900

divide both sides by 2 to solve for d

d = 450; the dryer costs $450

Answer:

This is a Right Triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

12=a 16=b 20=c

Now lets solve

a^2+b^2=c^2

144+b^2=c^2

144+256=c^2

144+256=400

c^2=400

The square root of 400 is 20..

A square has a side that is (x-3) units long. If the area of the square is 126.5625 sq units, what is the value of x?

Kitty [74]

Answer:

14.25 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square= $l*b= (x-3)(x-3)=x^{2}-3x-3x+9=x^{2}-6x+9$

$x^{2}-6x+9=126.5625$

$x^{2}-6x-117.5625$

Solving the equation using quadratic equation then as attached

x=14.25 units

To prove

x-3=14.25-3= 11.25 units

area=11.25*11.25=126.5625 sq units
