EG is the whole thing.
This means that EF + FG = EG

<span>EF=2x-5
</span><span>FG=3x-6
</span><span>EG=19

Now all you do is plug in the numbers.
(2x - 5) + (3x - 6) = 19
5x - 11 = 19
5x = 30
x = 6

Now plug that x into EF and FG.
</span>EF = 2x - 5
EF = 2(6) - 5
EF = 12 - 5
EF = 7

FG = 3x - 6
FG = 3(6) - 6
FG = 18 - 6
FG = 12

So your answers are:
x = 6
EF = 7
FG = 12
<span>d. x = 6, EF = 7, FG = 12</span>

you are building a rectangular wading pool you want the area of the bottom to be 90 ft squared you want the length of the pool t
Sindrei [870]
L=2W+3, A=LW, using L from the first in the second gives you:

A=(2W+3)W

A=2W^2+3W, and we are told A=90 so

2W^2+3W=90

2W^2+3W-90=0

2W^2-12W+15W-90=0

2W(W-6)+15(W-6)=0

(2W+15)(W-6)=0, since W>0 for all real possibilities, 

W=6ft, and since L=2W+3

L=15ft

So the pool will be 6 ft wide by 15 ft long.

Perform distribution of power using power rule such as shown below:
3⁻³ m⁻²*⁻³n⁻³
-----------------
6mn⁻²

Perform product and quotient rule such as shown below:
m⁶ n²
--------
3³ *6*m*n³

Simplify,
m⁵
--------
162n

The answer is m⁵/162n.

Anderson is a plumber and is paid a fixed amount just to make a house visit. The remainder of his fee, y, is determined by the n
Serhud [2]

Answer:

y=10x+50

Explanation:

The line starts at point (0,50) which is the y intercept (how much he gets paid to visit house).The line crosses points (10,150) and (20,250) and the slope of these points are 100/10 which when simplified equals 10x which is how much money he gets paid by the hour(x=hours) so y=10x plus the y intercept y=10x+50
