Answer:

Width = 2

Length = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

let A be the area of the rectangle

   L be the length of the rectangle

   w be the width of the rectangle

<u><em>Formula</em></u>: ‘<u><em>area of a rectangle</em></u>’

A = L × w

…………………………………………………

A = L × w

⇔ 10 = (w + 3) × w

⇔ 10 = w² + 3w

⇔ w² + 3w - 10 = 0  

<u><em>Solving the quadratic equation</em></u> w² + 3w - 10 =  0 :

Δ = 3² - 4(1)(-10) = 9 - (-40) = 9 + 40 = 49

then √Δ = 7

\Longrightarrow w=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta } }{2a} =\frac{-3+7}{2} =2

  or\ w=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta } }{2a} =\frac{-3-7}{2} =-5

-5 is not valid ,because w represents the width

which must be a positive number

Then  w = 2

<u><em>Conclusion</em></u>:

Width = 2

Length = 2 + 3 = 5

Which graph correctly shows point A as the sum of the complex numbers z1 and z2?
aalyn [17]

The graph which correctly shows the point A as the sum of the complex numbers z₁ and z₂ is graph number 4.

<h3>What is complex number?</h3>

A complex number is the combination of real and imaginary number. In a complex number, real part and imaginary part of the number are written together. For example,

a+b<em>i</em>

Here, (a) is the real part while (b) is the imaginary part.

To add the two complex number on the graph, the addition as transition method is used.

In this one complex number is translated to the tip of the other graph. The resultant of addition is equal to the distance between them.

On the graph 4, the transition method of addition is applied.Thus, the graph which correctly shows the point A as the sum of the complex numbers z₁ and z₂ is graph number 4.

What is the solution to the equation below? 6x=2x+24
Margaret [11]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we combine like terms.

6x=2x+24

6x-2x=24

4x=24

Then we divide both sides by 4.

x=6
