10 yards. The amount of yards is 1 third the amount of feet so you just divide 30 by 3 to get the amount of yards
Answer:
x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) put the equations together and equal them to 180
2x + 4 + 6x - 16 = 180
2.) combine like terms
8x - 12 = 180
3.) divide both sides by 8
8x = 192
4.) simplify
x = 24

Question: What value of c will complete the square below (
) and make the expression a perfect square trinomial?
Answer: c = 225
Step-by-step explanation:
Perfect square trinomials come in the form a² + 2ab + b², which is equal to (a + b)². In the presented trinomial, we can immediately identify that <u>a = x, and b² = c</u>, but we need to find the numerical value of
.
To do this, note that the middle term, or <u>2ab, corresponds with (is equal to) 30x</u>. We know that a = x, and thus, <u>2ab = 2bx</u>. Now, 2bx and 30x are corresponding terms; thus, <u>2bx = 30x</u>.
Dividing by
on both sides gives us <u>b = 15</u>. Therefore, c = b² = 15² = 225. (As a squared binomial, this would be (x + 15)² as a = x and b = 15.)
