Answer: the width of the frame is 3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the frame.

If the length of the mirror is 10 inches, the length of the mirror and the frame would be (x + 10) inches

If the width of the mirror is 7 inches, the width of the mirror and the frame would be (x + 7) inches

The mirror and frame together cover an area of 130 inches squared. This means that

(x + 10)(x + 7) = 130

x² + 7x + 10x + 70 = 130

x² + 17x + 70 - 130 = 0

x² + 17x - 60 = 0

x² + 20x - 3x - 60 = 0

x(x + 20) - 3(x + 20) = 0

x - 3 = 0 or x + 20 = 0

x = 3 or x = - 20

Since the width cannot be negative, then x = 3

Determine the factors of 3x2 + 10x − 8. (Which is the right answer?)
VMariaS [17]

ANSWER

(3x  - 2)(x + 4)

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic trinomial is

3 {x}^{2}  + 10x - 8

Comparing to the general quadratic trinomial:

a{x}^{2}  + bx  + c

We have a=1, b=10 and c=-8

ac =  3  \times  - 8 = - 24

The factors of -24 that adds up to 10 are -2 and 12.

We split the middle term to obtain;

3 {x}^{2}   + 12x   - 2x- 8

Factor;

3x(x+ 4)  -  2(x + 4)

Factor further;

(3x  - 2)(x + 4)

The last option is correct.

Patel squeezed oranges so that his family could have fresh-squeezed juice for breakfast. He squeezed StartFraction 4 over 17 End
IgorC [24]

Answer:

\approx \frac{11}{40}

Step-by-step explanation:

Juice squeezed from first orange = \frac{4}{17} = 0.235

Juice squeezed from second orange = \frac{3}{10} = 0.3

Juice squeezed from third orange = \frac{9}{20} = 0.45

Juice squeezed from fourth orange = \frac{3}{11} = 0.27

Juice squeezed from fifth orange = \frac{7}{15} = 0.47

Total juice squeezed from all the five oranges = 0.235 + 0.3 + 0.45 + 0.27 + 0.47 = 1.725

Total juice to be squeezed = 2 cups

More juice required = 2 - 1.725 = 0.275 \approx \frac{11}{40}

Therefore, to make it 2 cups of orange juice for the family, about \approx \frac{11}{40} cups of more juice is required.
