Answer:
Rational.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 12, x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 legs of the triangle are congruent, both 2x + 7, then
2x + 7 + 2x + 7 + x + 11 = 85 ← equation for perimeter
5x + 25 = 85 ( subtract 25 from both sides )
5x = 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 12
-----------------------------------------------------------
Opposite sides are congruent, then
2(2x) + 2(5x + 3) = 104 ← distribute and simplify both sides
4x + 10x + 6 = 104
14x + 6 = 104 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
14x = 98 ( divide both sides by 14 )
x = 7
Let x represent the larger number.
Let y represent the smaller number.
x-y=4 Given
3x=5y-2 Given
Now we can just substitute; let x=4+y
Substitute 4+y for x in the second equation:
3(4+y)=5y-2
12+3y=5y-2
-2y=-14
y=7
Substitute back (into BOTH equations to double check work).
x, the larger number, is 11
Hi again
x² - 2x - 8
Factor
= (x + 2)(x -4)
Answer : A is the correct option.
If you wanna check if A is the right answer, I will solve it for you and it will you give you the exact answer which will be x² - 2x - 8
(x+2)(x-4)
Distribute
(x)(x) + (x)(-4)+(2)(x)+(2)(-4)
= x² - 4x + 2x - 8
= x² - 2x - 8
Here it is, we find the exam answer.
Thus, (x+2)(x-4) is the reciprocal of x² -2x - 8
I hope that's help !
