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

Use the interactive tool to find the difference. (–4) – 6
elena55 [62]

(−4)   −   6

<u>Remove Parenthesis</u>

-4     -     6

<u>Subtract the numbers: </u>  

- 4    -    6    =   10

=         −4         −6

=        −4        +       −6

<u>Answer       =      −10</u>




Hope that helps!!!                                    : )

Standing in your tree house, 50 feet off the ground, you look down at a 60° angle and notice a frisbee. approximately how many
andrew11 [14]
Draw a diagram
assuming you are directly over the base of the tree

we need to find the ratio between the adjacent angle and oposite angle

adjacent angle is the disatnce from frisbee to base of tree
oposite angle is 50ft

so
tan=oposite/adjacent
tan(60°)=50/?
?tan(60°)=50
?=50/tan(60°)
use your calculator
?≈28.8675
so about 29ft away from the base of the tree is the frisbee
