Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2x−1−1=x−3−(−5+x)

2x−1−1=x−3+−1(−5+x)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

2x−1−1=x+−3+(−1)(−5)+−1x

2x−1−1=x+−3+5+−x

2x+−1+−1=x+−3+5+−x

(2x)+(−1+−1)=(x+−x)+(−3+5)(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−2=2

2x−2=2

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

2x−2+2=2+2

2x=4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

All the triangles are similar, so ...

... 4/y - y/9

... 36 = y² . . . . . multiply by 9y

... 6 = y

From the Pythagorean theorem, ...

... x² = 4² + y² = 4² + 6²

... x² = 52 = 4·13

... x = √(4·13) = 2√13

A rectangle has a perimeter of 80 cm. If its width is x, express its length and area in terms of x, and find the maximum area.
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Perimiter=2L+2W

w=x
P=80

80=2L+2x
diviide by 2
40=L+x

40-L=x
40-x=L


the area is found by legnth times width
LW or Lx
for a maximum area, try to get the legnths of the sides the same
therefor
L=W=x for max area
40=x+x
40=2x
divide 2
20=x
max area =legnth times width=20^2=400

note: all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares


L=40-x
A=(40-x)(x)

max area=400 cm^2
