Answer:  D.) x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The dimensions of the computer screen are modeled by the equation :

x^2+(x-4)^2=20^2

To find the value of x , we need to solve the equation.

Now, the above equation can be written as :

x^2+x^2+16-8x=400\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2x^2-8x+16=400\\\\\Rightarrow2x^2-8x+384=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2(x^2-4x+192)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-4x+192=0\\\\\Rightarrow(x-16)(x+12)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=16\ or\ x=-12

Since side cannot be negative therefore, x= 16

<span>  x^2 +(x-4)^2 =20^2</span>

<span>  x^2 +(x-4)^2 =400</span>

x^2 +(x-4)^2 -400=0

factor:

2x^2-8x-384=0

Factor the 2 out of 2X^2

2(x-16) (x+12) =0

<span> Divide both sides by 2</span>

(x-16) (x+12) =0

X=16 , x=-12

<span> Number cannot be negative so x=16</span>

In a complete sentence, write down a method you could use to determine if an equation is written in the correct way.
Sergio039 [100]

An equation is written in a correct way if the equation is balanced. If you want to find out if the equation is balanced, you have to count how many molecules of each element is present and then just balance the equation on the left side and the right side.

Help me please I’ll give a lot of points

Answer:

21. B

22. D

23. C

24. y = 3x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

21.  it has to be a positive slope since the graph shows it is increasing/positive slope. Has to be A or B. But it isn't A because where x = 1 1/2, y doesn't equal 0 like the graph shows.

22. It is D if you rewrite the equation starting with y=, so you subtract 2x on both sides to get y = -2x +6. Parallel means slopes are the same, so the slope has to be -2, which is D.

23. The only one that fits the description is C.

24.

in standard form, rearrange the equation so only y is on one side, the rest on the other.

-4x + 2y  = 2x - 24

first add 4x on both sides so -4x cancels out on the left hand side.

-4x + 4x + 2y  = 2x + 4x - 24

simplify it and get 2y = 6x - 24

divide both side by 2

y = 3x - 12

plot this as shown with arrows on lines.

please give thanks :)

How do you simplify the problem
Ugo [173]

To simplify this expression, we must make use of the PEMDAS Rule. The PEMDAS Rule (Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication or Division, Addition or Subtraction) states that when doing mathematical operations, the factor inside the in the Parenthesis must be solved first followed by the exponent and then multiplication or division (depending on which is first), addition or subtraction (depending on which is first).

So in this case we can see that there is no parenthesis and exponent. So we do the multiplication first, so the expression becomes:

8 – 3 + 5

Then followed by the subtraction:

5 + 5

Then finally addition:

A circular garden has a diameter of 8 yards.What is the area of the garden?
Gemiola [76]
Area  of a circle = A = πr², r = radius.
now if the diameter is 8, then its radius is half that, or 4, thus

A = π4²    ===>     A = 16π.
