Answer:

x = 4 + √73

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is ( x-12 ) ( x + 4 ) = 9

We will solve the equation first.

( x - 12 ) ( x + 4 ) = 9

x( x+4 ) - 12 ( x + 4 ) = 9 [ Distributive property ]

x² + 4x - 12x - 48 = 9

x² - 8x - 48 = 9

x² - 8x - 48 - 9 = 0

x² - 8x - 57 = 0

[ x² - 2 (4x) + 16 ] - 57 - 16 = 0

(x - 4)² - 73 = 0

(x - 4)² = 73

( x-4 )² = √73

x = 4 + √73

x = 4 + √73 is the answer.

Hello!

You can multiply (x-12) and (x+4)

x * x = x^2
x * 4 = 4x
-12 * x = -12x
-12 * 4 = -48

Now we have

x^2 - 8x - 48 = 9

Subtract 9 from both sides

x^2 - 8x -57 = 0

Use the quadratic formula

This give use the answer of

x = 4 +\sqrt{72}

Hope this helps!

The rectangular field has a perimeter of 98 meters. The width of the perimeter is three times as much as five times the length.
White raven [17]

Answer:

a) x = 3.0625m

  y = 45.9375 m

b) A = 140.68359375 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length

Let y be the width

2x + 2y = 98

x + y = 49

y = 3(5x)

y = 15x

x + 15x = 49

16x = 49

x = 3.0625 m

y = 15(3.0625) = 45.9375

A = xy = 3.0625(45.9375) = 140.68359375

Graph y=8.5xy=8.5xy, equals, 8, point, 5, x.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

  • A, B, E

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given equation</u>

  • y = 8.5x

<u>Answer choices</u>

A. The equation represents a proportional relationship.

  • TRUE, it is in the form of y = kx

B. The unit rate of change of y with respect to x is 8.5

  • TRUE, y = mx + b, the slope m = 8.5 is the rate of change

C. The slope of the line is 2/17

  • False, the slope is 8.5

D. A change of 17 units in x results in a change of 2 units in y.

  • False, a change of x = 17 results in 17*8.5 = 144.5 units in y

E. A change of 4 units in x results in a change of 34 units in y.

  • TRUE, because 4*8.5 = 34

Kayla wants to pick the same number of books in 6 boxes.
lina2011 [118]
I think the answer could be A but I'm not so sure because at first Kayla has 6 boxes with x amount of books in the boxes with four left over so the equation would be 6x+4= number of books. So if she then replaces the now five boxes with x amount of books in them and adds four books to each of the five boxes you get 5x+4=number of books so it all equals out to the same number of books on both sides of the equal sign for 6x+4=5x+4
