Step-by-step explanation.

Example 1 – Solve: x2 + 16 = 10x

Step 1: Write the equation in the correct form. In this case, we need to set the equation equal to zero with the terms written in descending order.

Step 2: Use a factoring strategies to factor the problem.

Step 3: Use the Zero Product Property and set each factor containing a variable equal to zero.

What is1/12+7/9. I need help.
Katarina [22]
You have to make them have their least common denominator to add or subtract, in this case 36.
Multiply 1/12 by 3, to get the denominator 36: 3/36.
Multiply 7/9 by 4, to get the denominator 36: 28/36.
Now add the numerators: 3+28=31, 31/36 is as simplified as possible so your answer is 31/36 :) I hope this helps :)

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Area = 2025 miles²

Perimeter = 180 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Scale of drawing = 1 inch : 5 miles

Length of side of the scale drawing = 9 inches

To find The actual perimeter and area of the square, we need ;

Actual length of the drawing :

1 inch = 5 miles

9 inches = (5 × 9) miles = 45 miles

Hence,

Area of a square = a²

Where a = side length

Actual side length = 45 miles

Actual area of square = 45² = 2025 miles²

Actual Perimeter of square :

Perimeter of a square = 4a

a = side length

Actual perimeter = 4(45) = 180 miles
