Please help me solve this, I can't get a right answer even though it is easy: | 2x + 4 | = 12

5 0

Because the left side is eclipsed in an absolute value, we have two possible values of x, denoted by:
2x+4 = 12 and -(2x+4) = 12

Solving for both of these, we are presented with the two values of x:
x = 4 and x = -8

Right isosceles triangles are constructed on the sides of a 3−4−5 right triangle, as shown. A capital letter represents the area

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because the triangles are isosceles, that means that the area of Z is 5x5x1/2, which equals 12.5

the area of X is 4.5

the area of y is 8

(8+4.5)/(12.5) = 1

A carpenter purchased 50 ft of redwood and 80 ft of pine for a total cost of $285. A second purchase, at the same prices, includ

Marizza181 [45]

Hey there!!

Let us take the price of the redwood as ' x ' and pine as ' y '

Then , we take it into an equation. We get,

50x + 80y = 285 -------------- ( 1 )

80x + 50y = 339 -------------- ( 2 )

Now, multiply the first equation with 8 and the second equation with 5

400x + 640y = 2280

400x + 250y = 1695

Now subtract the second equation from the first

390y = 585

y = 585 / 390

y = $1.5

Now substitute this into any equation

50x + ( 80 ) ( 1.5 ) = 285

50x + 120 = 285

50x = 165

x = 165 / 50

x = $3.3

Redwood = $3.3

Pine = $1.5

Hope helps!
