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

Solve for f<br> -f +2 + 4f = 8 - 3f
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

f=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let start off with doing -f plus 4f which gives you 3f. The equation would now be 2+3f=8-3f. Add 3f so you can cancel out the -3f and add the 3f to the other 3f. Now your equation is 2+6f=8. Cancel out do by doing -2. (Don't forget to to it to the 8 also.) Now your equation is 6f=6. Divide 6 from both sides to get 1. (You divide because you want to get f alone.

For the following rectangular prism, drag and drop the steps needed to find the volume in the correct order. Then type the volum
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Volume = 100 in^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume, V= Bh

length = 10 inches

width = 5 inches

height = 2 inches

So that,

B = 5(10)

  = 50 in^{2}

B = 50 in^{2}

Then,

V = (50)(2)

  = 100

v = 100 in^{3}
