Answer:
3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The paper is 7 cm by (x + 8) cm.
A photo is 5 cm by (x + 6) cm, and is printed in the middle of the paper.
The area of the border/space around the photo is 50 cm².
To find the area of the border around the photo, you find the area of the paper and subtract it by the area of the photo.
The area of the paper:
A = 7 · (x + 8)
The area of the photo:
A = 5 · (x + 6)
Your equation to find the area of the border around the photo is:
(7 · (x + 8)) - (5 · (x + 6)) = A
[area of paper - area of photo = area of border]
Since you know the area of the border, you can plug it in:
(7 · (x + 8)) - (5 · (x + 6)) = 50
Multiply the 7 into (x + 8), and multiply the 5 into (x + 6)
(7x + 56) - (5x + 30) = 50
Distribute/multiply the - to (5x + 30)
7x + 56 - 5x - 30 = 50
Combine like terms
2x + 26 = 50
Subtract 26 on both sides
2x = 24
Divide 2 on both sides
x = 12
<span>The answer is 2 three-point shots. Since the Lakers made 37 two-point shots, one multiplies 37 by 2 (37 x 2), which equals 74. Then 74 is subtracted from the total 80 to see how many points are left (80 - 74), which equals 6. To determine the number of three-point shots, 6 is divided by 3 (6/3), which equals 2.</span>

<span> [1] x = 1</span> </span>
// By now we know this much :

<span> y = -13x/14-1/14</span></span>
<span>// Use the x value to solve for y
</span>
<span> y = -(13/14)(1)-1/14 = -1 </span>Solution :<span><span> {x,y} = {1,-1}</span>

Answer:
19
Step-by-step explanation:
5 + 4^2 - 6/3
= 5 + 16 - 2
= 21 - 2
= 19
