We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
  x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
           -85                       -85
_______________________
      x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204                    
     +34x         +34x
_______________________
 x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2             -x^2
____________________
       34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
      x = 6.
The number is 6.

jalil and Victoria are each asked to solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x. Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x becaus
Pie

Answer:

x = \frac{d+c}{a - b}

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: ax – c = bx + d

Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x because  x has a different unknown coefficient.

Victoria t. Victoria believes there is a solution

Solving the equation:

ax-c = bx + d

ax - bx= d+c

(a - b)x = d+c

x = \frac{d+c}{a - b}

So, this shows x can be isolated .

Victoria was right .

It was not possible to isolate x if the coefficients of x would be same .

But in the given equation the coefficients of x are not same .

So, Victoria is right.

Which of the following is the surface area of the right cylinder below?
yarga [219]

Answer:

if it is TSA- 396 or 395.64

if it is CSA- 88 or 87.92

Step-by-step explanation:

r=7

h=2

TSA= 2 pi r(r+h)

=2*22/7*7*9= 396

<em>CSA</em>= 2 pi r h

2*22/7*7*2=88

when you use pi as 3.14 instead of 22/7 you get the answer with the decimal symbol.. in such case the TSA would be 395.64 and CSA would be 87.92
