Please:  Use "^" to denote exponentiation:  <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Reduce this by div. every term by 2:             </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0

Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6.  Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:

</span> x^2 + 4x +4  - 4 - 6 = 0.  Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation

(x+2)^2 = 10.  Take the sqrt of both sides:   x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).

Finally, solve for x:  x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).

In this diagram, lines AC and DE are parallel and line DC is perpendicular to each of them. What is a reasonable estimate for th
igomit [66]

The reasonable estimate for the length of side DE is 3 units

Find the diagram of the question attached. The given triangle ABC and BDE are similar triangles.

Using the similarity theorem of a triangle, this is expressed as:

AC = DE

Using the pythagoras theorem to get the length of AC:

AB^2 = AC^2 + BC^2

5^2 + AC^2 + 4^2

AC^2 = 25 - 16

AC^2 = 9

AC= 3

Since AC = DE, hence the reasonable estimate for the length of side DE is 3 units

Kofi and kweku are two brothers. Kofi is older than kweku. Given that kofi's age is (5x-4) years and kweku's age is (2x+1) years
diamong [38]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the details :

Kofi is older than kweku

kofi's age = (5x-4) years

kweku's age = (2x+1) years

a. write down an expression, interns of x,for how much old is Kofi than kweku

Equate the ages of Kofi and kweku

(5x - 4) = (2x + 1)

5x - 4 = 2x + 1

5x - 2x = 1 + 4

3x = 5

3x - 5

B.) if Kofi is tens years older than kweku, find the value of x and the ages of Kofi and kweku

Then,

(5x-4) = (2x + 1) + 10

5x - 4 = 2x + 1 + 10

5x - 2x = 1 + 10 + 4

3x = 15

x = 5

Kofi's age : 5x - 4

5(5) - 4 = 25 - 4 = 21 years

Kweku's age : (2x + 1)

2(5) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11 years
