Answer:

<h2>x = 6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Angle Bisector theorem (look at the picture).

We have the equation:

\dfrac{3}{x}=\dfrac{x-4}{4}        <em>cross multiply</em>

x(x-4)=(3)(4)          <em>use the distributive property</em>

x^2-4x=12           <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>

x^2-4x-12=0\\\\x^2+2x-6x-12=0\\\\x(x+2)-6(x+2)=0\\\\(x+2)(x-6)=0\iff x+2=0\ \vee\ x-6=0

x+2=0        <em>subtract 2 from both sides</em>

x=-2

x-6=0       <em>add 6 to both sides</em>

x=6

The length of a rectangle is 5 meters less than twice the width. If the area of the rectangle is 273 meters, find the dimensions
AleksandrR [38]

The length of the rectangle = 16 meters

The width of the rectangle = 10.5 meters

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Given that,

The Area of the rectangle is 273.

<u><em>Step 1</em></u><em> :</em>

Let, the width of the rectangle be 'x'

The length of the rectangle is 2x - 5

<u><em>Step 2</em></u><em> :</em>

Area of the rectangle = length \times width

                             273 = (2x - 5) x

                             273 = 2x^2 - 5x

<u><em>Step 3</em></u><em> :</em>

The equation formed is 2x^2 - 5x -273 = 0

a= coefficient of x^2 = 2

b= coefficient of x = -5

c = constant = -273

Find the roots of the equation, to find the width.

<u><em>Step 4</em></u><em> :</em>

Find the roots using factorizing method,

ac = 2\times-273 = -546 and b= -5

Factorizing -546 as -26\times21

The product of -26\times21 = -546

The sum of -26 + 21 = -5

<u><em>Step 5</em></u><em> :</em>

The roots of the equation 2x^2 - 5x -273 = 0 are x= -26/2 and x= 21/2

The values of x are x= -13 and x= 10.5

Since the width cannot be a negative value, neglect x= -13

<u><em>Step 6</em></u><em> :</em>

Therefore,

The width of the rectangle = 10.5 meters

The length of the rectangle = 2x-5

                                                = 2(10.5) - 5

                                                = 21 - 5

                                    length = 16 meters

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Causation is often confused with correlation because they are so similar. B would mean that pollution is caused from something (lets say greenhouse gases for example) which then results in more cases of heart disease.

Causation is when the first variable may bring the second into existence or may cause the incidence of the second variable to fluctuate. So, causation is the capacity of one variable to influence another. Which, would make B, a suitable candidate.
