thank you
Since each shelf can hold 16 books and there are 2 shelves, both shelves can hold a total of 32 books. Since he is already adding 24 books, he can add 32- 24 = 8 more books.
The best way ( meaning, the way that results squares with the biggest areas ) is to cut it in 2 squares with the lenght of 10cm. Then, the area is 10*10 cm = 100 cm^2
Why cut it like this? We find the highest number that divides both 20 and 10, in this case it's 10. Then, we can cut squares with the lenght of 10 cm. But we have a rectangle with the area of 20*10=200 cm^2 , and we cut squares of 10*10=100cm^2. 200/100=2. So we cut 2 squares
Also, you could say that it's because the simmetry line cuts the rectangle in 2 other simetrical rectangles, which in this case, happen to be squares.
Answer:
x = - 3, x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4x² + 2x - 30 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )
2x² + x - 15 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 2 × - 15 = - 30 and sum = + 1
The factors are + 6 and - 5
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² + 6x - 5x - 15 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(x + 3) - 5(x + 3) = 0 ← factor out (x + 3) from each term
(x + 3)(2x - 5) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
2x - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 5 ⇒ x =
