They’ve started out with 0yds of course so, -8yds on the first down. They’ve gained 20yds overall in both downs. You’re now trying to find “x”. -8+x=20. To find “x”, you do 20+8 because the 8 is negative and you would lose numbers in order to get 20, so “x” equals 28. Therefore, you’ve gained 28 yds in the second down and lost 8 yds in the first down.

I really, really hoped that helped. It took awhile to figure out, but I’m sure I’ve got it now.

HELP PLEASE ITS DUE IN 10 MIN Use algebraic strategies to solve for x.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

x = 4, x ≠ -1

Step-by-step explanation:

√3x + 4 = x

(√3x + 4)² = x² (Square both sides to get rid of the radical.)

3x + 4 = x²

0 = x² - 3x - 4 (Set everything to 0 by moving everything to one side.)

0 = (x - 4)(x + 1) (Factor.)

x = 4   x = -1

Now we need to check for extraneous solutions:

√3(4) + 4 = 4

√12 + 4 = 4

√16 = 4

4 = 4

√3(-1) + 4 = -1

√-3 +4 = -1

√1 = -1

1 ≠ -1

-1 is an extraneous solution.

PLEASE HELP! (Look at photo)

Answer:

Starting from the one on the left.

Upper left:

145 degrees

Down left:

35 degrees

Down right:

145 degrees.

-------------

Now for the right image.

Upper left:

153 degrees

Down left:

27 degrees

Down right:

153 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the same steps for the second image as for the first.

One thing to keep in mind is that a flat line (horizontal or vertical), as an angle of 180 degrees.

And another useful reminder is that opposed angles have the same degree.

Starting from the one on the left.

Upper left:

180 - 35 = 145 degree

Down left:

since it is opposed to the upper right angle which is 35 degrees this one is also equal to 35 degrees.

Down right:

since it is opposed to the upper left angle which is 145 degrees this one is also equal to 145 degrees.

You can always double check by making sure one flat side (left or right or up or down), is equal to 180 degrees.

example: on the right image, for the down part, I wrote as answers 27 degrees (for down left because it is opposed to upper right) and 153 degrees (for down right because it is opposed to upper left) => 153 + 27 = 180 degrees
