12 + x = 4x ,, x = 4 ,,12 + 4 + 3 = 19

So, the 2 equations would be.... B -12 = I and (B - 3) = 4(I - 3) the second sentence is irrelevant.
B - 3 = 4 (I) - 12
B - 3 = 4B - 48 - 12
B - 4B = -60 + 3
-3B = -57
B (Ben) = 19
Ishaan is 7

Hope this helps!

1.) Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation. If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth .x squared minus 21 x equals n

Andrew [12]

Part 1
We are given $x^2-21x=-4x$ . This can be rewritten as $x^2-18x=0$ .
Therefore, a=1, b=-18, c=0.
Using the quadratic formula
$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-\left(-18\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-18\right)^2-4\left(1\right)\left(0\right)}}{2\left(1\right)}$
$x=\frac{18\pm 18}{2}$

The values of x are
$x_1=\frac{18-18}{2}=0$
$x_2=\frac{18+18}{2}=18$

Part 2
Since the values of y change drastically for every equal interval of x, the function cannot be linear. Therefore, the kind of function that best suits the given pairs is a quadratic function.

Part 3.
The first equation is $y=x^2+2$ .
The second equation is $y=3x+20$ .

We have
$x^2+2=3x+20$
$x^2-3x-18=0$
Factoring, we have
$\left(x-6\right)\left(x+3\right)=0$
Equating both factors to zero.
$x_1-6=0\rightarrow x_1=6$
$x_2+3=0\rightarrow x_2=-3$

When the value of x is 6, the value of y is
$y=3\left(6\right)+20=38$

When the value of x is -3, the value of y is
$y=3\left(-3\right)+20=11$

Therefore, the solutions are (6,38) or (-3,11)

Find the area of the shaded region. Use 3.14 as an approximation.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

shaded area = 113.64 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the shaded area, subtract the area of the circle from the area of the triangle.

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

⇒ area of triangle = 1/2 x 25 x 21.4 = 267.5 cm²

Area of a circle = $\pi r^2$ (where r is the radius)

From inspection, we can see that the diameter of the circle = 14 cm

Therefore, as the diameter = 2r, then r = 14 ÷ 2 = 7 cm

⇒ area of circle = 3.14 x 7² = 153.86 cm²

Shaded area = area of triangle - area of circle

⇒ shaded area = 267.5 - 153.86 = 113.64 cm²

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

1925 - 1440 = 485

X/100 = 485/1925 (what percent is 485 of 1925) (%/100=is/of)

(485 x 100) / 1925 (cross multiply)

48500/1925 = 25%
