Answer:
-4x + 12 = 20 is incorrect. she added 12 to 20 instead of subtracting 12 from both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
It should have been, write problem
-4(x - 3) = 20
Use distributive property.
-4x + 12 = 20
subtract 12 from each side
-4x =8
divide each side by -4
x = -2
You're forgetting to add how many miles did the taxi drove you, without it, this problem doesn't have a solution, you're not including how many miles were drove additionally, as well as how much money you carry in the first place bud sorry
Given : A = 24 sq feet
A = 0.5 base x height
base = x , height = x+2
A = 0.5 x(x+2) = 24 sq feet
1) 0.5 x(x+2) = 24 (A)
2) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (D)
To check the rest un-wrap the bracket:
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 24
x^2 + x^2 + 4 + 4x = 24
2x^2 + 4x - 20 = 0
x^2 + 2x - 10= 0 (NO)
Likewise:
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 100
x^2 + x^2 +4 + 4x = 100
2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 100
2x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0
3) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (F)
To sum up: that's what apply:
1) 0.5 x(x+2) = 24 (A)
2) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (D)
3) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (F)
sin = opposite/hypotenuse
sin 40° = 12/x
Cross multiply.
0.64278760968x = 12
Divide both sides by sin 40°.
x = 18.7 (rounded to nearest tenth).
