BD=BE+ED=2x²-x+x²+6=3x²-x+6

BE = DE

2x^2-x = x^2+6

x^2-x-6 =0

(x+2) (x-3)

x = -2 or x = 3


1 solution using x = -2:

BE = 2(-2)^2 -(-2) = 10

DE = (-2)^2+6 = 10

10 +10 =20

2nd solution using x = 3

BE =2(3)^2-3 = 15

DE = (3)^2+6 =15

15+15 = 30


 The answer could be 20 or 30. Will need to try them both

 Would probably try 30 first ( maybe x can't be a negative number?)

each morning a gardener uses 24 3/4 gallons of water from a barrel. each afternoon, she adds 15 1/4 gallons of water to the barr
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

47\frac {1}{2}\ gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the tank is only for agricultural use, also no significant leakages then at the end of the day, the amount consumed will be equivalent to 24\frac {3}{4}-\ 15\frac {1}{4}=9\frac {1}{2}

For 5 days, the quantity reduces by 9.5*5=47.5 gallons

Therefore, the barrel would have changed by 47\frac {1}{2}\ gallons

Please help i don't understand
alexira [117]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. Hence, the two shorter sides created on diagonal RT ("6x-7" and "x+28" ) are equal.

<em>We can set them equal and solve for x:</em>

<em>6x-7=x+28\\6x-x=28+7\\5x=35\\x=\frac{35}{5}\\x=7</em>

<em />

<em>So the side length of 6x -7 is:</em>

<em>6(7)-7 = 35</em>

<em>and the side length of x + 28 is:</em>

<em>7 + 28 = 35</em>

<em />

<em>THus, the diagonal RT = 35 + 35 = 70 units</em>

<em />

<em>Answer choice A is right.</em>

two angles are supplementary one angle measures 75% more than twice the measure of the other what are the measurement of the two
valkas [14]
Let's call the angles x and y. We know that supplementary angles must add to 180 degrees, so x+y=180.

Furthermore, we know that x is 75% more than 2y. We can write "75% more than" numerically as 1.75, so x = 1.75(2y).

We can simplify the second equation by multiplying 1.75 and 2 together to get x = 3.5y.

Now we can solve the system of equations by substitution by plugging 3.5y in for x in x+y=180.

(3.5y) + y = 180

Combine like terms.

4.5y = 180

Divide by 4.5

y = 40

Plug y = 40 in and solve for x.

x + 40 = 180

x = 140

The answer is 40 and 140. Hope this helps :)
