If you would like to know what length of the board was cut off, you can calculate this using the following steps:
12 3/4 feet long board - 9 7/8 feet = 12 3/4 - 9 7/8 = 51/4 - 79/8 = 102/8 - 79/8 = (102 - 79) / 8 = 23/8 = 2 7/8 feet
The correct result would be B) 2 7/8 feet.
You have to leave Y by itself in one side. To do that, you need to subtract 2x from both sides. You're now left with -3y = 8-2x. Last step is that you divide 3y, 8, and -2 by -3.
Good luck :)
Using algebra...
n and n+2 are the integers
n*(n+2)=288
n^2+2n=288
n^2+2n-288=0
288=2*2*2*2*2*3*3=(2*2*2*2)*(2*3*3)=16*18 and 18-16=2
factor
(n+18)(n-16)=0
n+18=0
n=-18
n+2=-16
this is one solution
n-16=0
n=16
n+2=18
this is another solution
as you can see, it's just a matter of factoring
288
using arithmetic...
√288=16.97≈17
16 and 18 are the integers (as well as -16 and -18)
Answer:
100
Step-by-step explanation:
an isosceles triangle is equal so if one side is 100 degrees, the other side is too
