Given

base=2x+6
height=x+4

and
area=56 square units

56=1/2 times (2x+6) times (x+4)
times bot sides by 2
112=(2x+6)(x+4)
expand
112=2x²+14x+24
divide both sides by 2
56=x²+7x+12
minus 56 both sides
0=x²+7x-44
factor
waht 2 numbers mulitply to get -44 and add to get 7
11 and -4
0=(x-4)(x+11)
set to 0

x-4=0
x=4

x+11=0
x=-11
false, measures can't be negative

x=4


height=x+4
height=4+4=8


base=2x+6
base=2(4)+6=8+6=14



x=4 and base=14 and height=8

A ladder leans against the wall and reaches a
stich3 [128]
The base would represent the side adjacent to the angle and the height up the wall would be the opposite side. Using the tangent^-1 (opposite over adjacent) function we are looking for the tan^-1 of 6/24 or 14.04°

A coin purse contains d dimes and q quarters.There are 20 coins in the purse and the total value of the coins is $4.25.which sys
mel-nik [20]
25q + 10d = 425
q + d = 20

First thing's first, picture 4 quarters. Do you know how much these 4 quarters are worth? Obviously, you'd answer one dollar, but take the time to think about how exactly you came up with this answer.

"Well, it's simple," you might think, "Multiply 0.25 by 4."

Similar to this train of thought, the first equation is formulated by doing exactly that. 'q' represents an unknown number of quarters, and 'd' an unknown number of dimes. We use 25q and 10d, because, well, we're multiplying their value by the number of coins. They're equivalent to 425 because the 20 unknown coins make $4.25 (I converted it to cents to get rid of the pesky decimals, but if you want to keep it as dollars that works too).

Because the equation states that there are 20 coins in total, we know that we can make the equation 'q + d = 20' since there are 20 quarters and dimes in total.

Let me know if you need any further explanation :)

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

\dfrac{x+7}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is "I think of a number, add seven then divide by five".

Let the unknown number be x.

Now, add 7 to the number = x+7

If we divided them by 5, \dfrac{x+7}{5}.

So, the required algebraic notation is  \dfrac{x+7}{5}.

If 5x + 4y= 13 and 4x + 5y = 14, find the value of (x - y).​
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

x - y = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x + 4y = 13 → (1)

4x + 5y = 14 → (2)

Subtract (2) from (1) term by term , that is

(5x - 4x) + (4y - 5y) = 13 - 14

x - y = - 1
