Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Choice B, 4


Discussion:

From the Pythagorean Theorem


x^2 + ( x-2)^2           =    ( sqrt(20) ) ^ 2     =>

x^2 + ( x^2 - 4x + 4) = 20                            => combine common terms

2x^2 -4x + 4 = 20                                        => divide both sides by 2

x^2 -2x + 2 = 10                                           => subtract 10 from both sides

x^2 -2x - 8 = 0                  => x^2 -2x - 8 = (x-4)(x+2)

(x-4)(x+2) = 0                    =>

x = 4, x = -2

The answer is Choice B, 4


Thank you,

MrB

Determine all possibilities for the solution set of a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns. I. No solutions whatsoever. II. One a
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

II. One and only one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine all possibilities for the solution set of a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns. I. No solutions whatsoever. II. One and only one solution. III. Many solutions.

Let assume the equation is given as;

x + 3y = 11 .... 1

x - y = -1 ....2

Using elimination method

Subtract equation 1 from 2

(x-x) + 3y-y = 11-(-1)

0+2y = 11+1

2y = 12

y = 12/2

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into equation 2:

x-y = -1

x - 6 = -1

x = -1 + 6

x = 5

Hence the solution (x, y) is (5, 6)

<em>Hence we can say the equation has One and only one solution since we have just a value for x and y</em>

Part 10, What is the area of this figure? NO LINKS!!!​
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

shaded area  = 601 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = Length * Breadth

Area of first section = 12 * 16 = 192 mm²

Area of 2nd middle section = 8 * ( 16 - 10 ) =  48 mm²

Area of the bottom section = 19 * 19 = 361 mm²

Area of total therefore = 192 mm² + 48 mm² + 361 mm²

                                      =  601 mm²

A bike and skate shop rents bike for $21 per day and pairs of skates for $20 per day. To remain viable, the shop needs to make a
Leya [2.2K]
Let the number of bike be x and the number of skates be y, then
21x + 20y ≥ 362 . . . (1)
2y = x . . . (2)

Putting (2) into (1), then
21(2y) + 20y ≥ 362
42y + 20y ≥ 362
62y ≥ 362
y ≥ 5.84

The least number of pairs of skates they need to rent each day to make their minimum is 6.
