The product of the page numbers on two facing pages of a book is 156. Find the page numbers

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gnoma [55]3 years ago
3 0

Let x be the page number then x+1 would be the other page number (because the pages are two facing pages which means they follow on consecutively)

Then

(x)(x+1) = 156

x^2 + x - 156 = 0

x = 12 or x = -13( but x can't be a negative number)

so x = 12

and the next page is 13

3. At a bargain store, Jamal bought 2 items that each cost the same amount. Isaiah bought 3 items that each cost the same amount
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

  • $6.75 and $4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

a) <u>Jamal spent:</u>

  • 2x

<u>Isaiah spent:</u>

  • 3 (x - 2.25)

<u>The equation is:</u>

  • 2x = 3(x - 2.25)

b) <u>Solving the equation</u>

  • 2x = 3x - 6.75
  • 3x - 2x = 6.75
  • x = 6.75

c) <u>Jamal's items cost </u>

  • $6.75 each

<u>Isaiah's items cost </u>

  • $6.75 - $2.25 = $4.50 each

What is the area of the triangle?<br> 16<br> 8<br> 10
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of both triangles inside the bigger triangle and add them together.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing length of the leg in the smallest triangle:

a² + b² = c²

8² + b² = 10²

64 + b² = 100

36 = b²

6 = b

Calculate the area of the smaller triangle:

1/2(<em>b</em>x<em>h</em>)

1/2(6 x 8)

1/2(48)

24

Calculate the area of the bigger triangle:

<em>We know that the longer leg is 10 units because we were able to subtract the length of the smaller triangle's leg from 16.</em>

1/2(<em>b</em>x<em>h</em>)

1/2(10 x 8)

1/2(80)

40

Add both areas to find the area of the largest triangle:

40 + 24 = 64

Which statement best explains the relationship between
-Dominant- [34]

Answer: They are not perpendicular because their slopes are  not negative reciprocals.

Step-by-step explanation:

For these two lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be negative reciprocals.

Slope of FG.

F = (-4, 1)

G = (0, -2)

= (Y₂ - Y₁) / (X₂ - X₁)

= (-2 - 1) / (0 + 4)

= -3/4

Slope of HJ

J = (0 , 4)

H = (-4, -2)

Slope =  (Y₂ - Y₁) / (X₂ - X₁)

= (-2 - 4) / (-4 -0)

= 6/4

= 3/2

<em>The slopes of these lines are not negative reciprocals so these lines are not perpendicular. </em>
