Area=width*length. Let width=x ft, then length=3x ft, given the information in the problem. The area of basement=x*3x=768, 3x^2=768, x^2=256, x=16. The width is 16 feet. Therefore, length=3x=3*16=48 feet.

The solution to x2 – 10x = 24 is
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

x = - 2, x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 10 x  = 24 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

x² - 10x - 24 = 0 ← in standard form

To factorise the quadratic

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 24) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 10)

The factors are - 12 and + 2, since

- 12 × 2 = - 24 and - 12 + 2 = - 10, thus

(x - 12)(x + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 12 = 0 ⇒ x = 12

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

Which property does each equation demonstrate? x2 + 2x = 2x + x2 (3z4 + 2z3) – (2z4 + z3) = z4 + z3 (2x2 + 7x) + (2y2 + 6y) = (2

Answer:

1 . Closure

2. Distributive

3. Closure

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the type of property exhibited or displayed by each of the equations in the question.

Equation 1 displays the closure property.

What this means that if we make an addition operation either way, we would get same answer. So we say that addition is closed for that equation.

Equation 3 exhibits closure property as well. If we go either way on the addition operation for that equation, we are bound to get the same answer.

Equation 2 exhibits the distributive property.

Each term in the bracket is multiplied by the subtraction symbol before we proceeded to complete the arithmetic operations

-3-8X≥9

Add 3 on both sides.

-8X≥12

Divide by negative 8 and flip the sign.

X≤-1.5

There isn't a number behind five, so I would just keep as is.

I hope this helps!
