Answer: No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter= 2(length) + 2(width)

If they have the same perimeter than we can write their values as an equation like this:

2(10) + 2x = 2(6) + 2(x + 3)

20 + 2x = 12 + 2(x+3)

DISTRIBUTE THE 2 TO THE X AND THE 3

20 + 2x = 12 + 2x + 6

COMBINE LIKE TERMS

20 + 2x = 18 + 2x

SUBTRACT 2X FROM BOTH SIDES

20 = 18

<u>THE EQUATION HAS NO SOLUTION, AND YOU ARE CORRECT</u>

Solve 5x^2 - 7x + 2 = 0 by completing the square.

Reika [66]

Answer: The correct option is (c) $\dfrac{49}{100}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following quadratic equation by the method of completing the square:

$5x^2-7x+2=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Also, we are to find the constant added on both sides to form the perfect square trinomial.

We have from equation (i) that

$5x^2-7x+2=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-\dfrac{7}{5}x+\dfrac{2}{5}=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-2\times x\times \dfrac{7}{10}+\left(\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2+\dfrac{2}{5}=\left(\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{49}{100}-\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{49-40}{100}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{9}{100}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{7}{10}=\pm\dfrac{3}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10}.$

So,

$x=\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10},~~~~~~~~x=-\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{10}{10},~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-3+7}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1,~-\dfrac{2}{5}.$

Thus, the required solution is $x=1,~-\dfrac{2}{5}.$ and the value of the constant added is $\dfrac{49}{100}.$

Option (c) is correct.
