Of course.

You can only say for sure that 1/4 of a whole thing is less than 1/3 of a whole thing
if the whole things are equal size.

If Marty's pizza was 1/3 bigger than Luis' pizza, then they both ate the same amount.
If Marty's was MORE than 1/3 bigger than Luis', then Marty ate more pizza.

Complete the square to factor X^2 +10X=-8
ella [17]

Answer: x=\sqrt{17}-5 and x = -\sqrt{17}-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The given equation is :

x^{2} +10x = -8

Adding 8 in both sides, it will become

x^{2} +10x + 8 = -8 +8

x^{2} +10x + 8 = 0

To make it perfect square, we need to add 25 and subtract 25

x^{2} +10x + 8 +25-25= 0

x^2+10x+25+8-25=0

(x+5)^2+8-25=0

(x+5)^2-17=0

Adding 17 in both sides  

(x+5)^2=17  

taking square root

x+5=\sqrt{17}

So,

x=\sqrt{17}-5 and x = -\sqrt{17}-5  .. Answer

Hope it will help :)

The area of a playground is 336 yd2. The width of the playground is 5 yd longer than its length. Find the length and width of th
kondaur [170]
L=16
W=21

Set up a systems of equations: 
x=length 
y=width 

xy=336
x+5=y

Use substitution to solve: 
x(x+5)=336
x^2+5x=336 

Solve using factoring: 
x^2+5x-336=0
(x-16)(x+21)=0
x=16 and x= -21 
Since length can't be negative, l=16 

To find width, plug length into the first equation: 
(16)y=336
y=21 

So...
L=16

A box in the shape of a rectangular prism has a length of x inches, a width of 0.5x inches and a height of 2x inches. The volume
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The answer should be 44.72 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the height when given the volume, use the formula V=Ah

The area can be found by multiplying the length and the width. (x)(.5x) = .5x^2

Now, 1,000= .5x^2(h).

Take the volume and divide it by .5. This gives you 2,000.

Now the equation is 2,000=x^2 (h)

Take the square root of 2,000 and this gives you the answer of 44.72 inches.
