Answer:

x = 4 or x = –4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² – 17 = 15

Add 17 to both sides:

2x² = 32

Divide both sides by 2:

x² = 16

Take the square root:

√x² = √16

Simplify:

x = ±4

Therefore:

x = 4 or x = –4

MissTica

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length = y width = x

y = 3x + 2

Perimeter = Sum of all sides (or sum of both lengths and both widths)

2y + 2x

2(3x + 2) + 2x

6x + 4 + 2x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the area of each of the two circles.

First Circle:

The first circle has a diameter of 10 inches. That means the radius is 5 inches. So, its area is:

$A=\pi r^2\\A=\pi (5)^2\\A=25\pi$

Second Circle:

The second circle has a diameter twice that of the first. So, the diameter is 20 inches. This means that the radius is 10 inches. Find the area:

$A=\pi r^2\\A=\pi (10)^2\\A=100\pi$

Now, find the ratio between them by dividing:

$\frac{\text{Smaller}}{\text{Larger}}=\frac{25\pi}{100\pi}$

Simplify:

$\frac{\text{Smaller}}{\text{Larger}}=\frac{1}{4}$

1/4 is the same as 1:4

So, our answer is C :)
