P=2a+2b
P=36
a=12
36=2*12+2b
36=24+2b
36-24=2b
12=2b
b=6
So, the length of the remaining sides is 6 each.

Well, since a is Susan’s current age, we would add three to a to get her age in three years
So our expression would be:
a + 3

What is the solution of √x-5 = x-11

PIT_PIT [208]

Hey!

To solve x in this equation we must first add five to both sides to get $\sqrt{x}$ on its own.

Original Equation :
$\sqrt{x} - 5 = x - 11$

New Equation {Added 5 to Both Sides} :
$\sqrt{x} =x-6$

Now we must square both sides of the equation.

Old Equation :
$\sqrt{x} =x-6$

New Equation {Changed by Squaring Both Sides} :
$x= x^{2} -12x+36$

And now we must solve the new equation.

Step 1 - Switch sides
$x^{2} -12x+36=x$

Step 2 - Subtract x from both sides
$x^{2} -12x+36-x=x-x$

Step 3 - Simplify
$x^{2} -13x+36=0$

Now we need to solve the rest of the equation using the quadratic formula.

$\frac{-(-13)+ \sqrt{(-13) ^{2}-4*1*36 } }{2*1}$

${13+ \sqrt{(-13)^{2}-4*1*36 }=13+ \sqrt{25}$

$\frac{13+ \sqrt{25}}{2}$

$\sqrt{25}=5$

$\frac{13+5}{2}$

$\frac{18}{2}$

9

$\frac{-(-13)- \sqrt{(-13) ^{2} -4*1*36} }{2*1}$

4

So, this means that in the equation $\sqrt{x} -5=x-11$ , x = 9 and x = 4.

Hope this helps!

(5x3 + 3)2 = (5x3)2 + (3)2 = 25x6 + 9 Determine if Louise’s answer is correct. Explain.

MrMuchimi

Louise’s answer is not correct. She is missing the term 30x3. When squaring a binomial, it is best to write the product of the binomial times itself. Then you can use the distributive property to multiply each term in the first binomial by each term in the second binomial. Louise also could have used the formula for a perfect square trinomial, which is found by squaring a binomial.
