Base = x
height = x-4
Area = .5 * height * base
48 = .5 * (x-4) * x
96 = x^2 -4x
x^2 -4x -96=0
x = 12
base = 12
height = 8
Answer:
- 3a³ + 5a² - 3a + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(a³ - 2a + 5) - (4a³ - 5a² + a - 2)
Distribute both parenthesis noting the second is distributed by - 1
= a³ - 2a + 5 - 4a³ + 5a² - a + 2 ← collect like terms
= (a³ - 4a³ ) + 5a² + (- 2a - a) + (5 + 2)
= - 3a³ + 5a² - 3a + 7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of oxen. Then the number of ducks is 22-x and the number of legs is ...
4x +2(22 -x) = 72
2x +44 = 72 . . . . . . . simplify
x +22 = 36 . . . . . . divide by 2
x = 14 . . . . . . . . . subtract 22; the number of oxen
22-x = 8 . . . . . the number of ducks
There are 8 ducks and 14 oxen in the barn.
True. Not sure if this is a true or false question but its true. Have a nice day and blessed be!
