-------------------------------------------------------------
Formula for Area :
-------------------------------------------------------------
Area = Length x Width

Since we know that the area is 209 ft² and the sides are (4x-5)ft and (4x+3) ft, we will plug in these values and solve for x.

209 = (4x-5)(4x + 3)

-------------------------------------------------------------
Expand the quadratic using FOIL:
-------------------------------------------------------------
209 = 16x² + 12x - 20x - 15

-------------------------------------------------------------
Combine like terms:
-------------------------------------------------------------
209 = 16x² - 8x - 15

-------------------------------------------------------------
Take away 209 from both sides :
-------------------------------------------------------------
0 = 6x² - 8x - 224

-------------------------------------------------------------
Switch Sides :
-------------------------------------------------------------
16x² - 8x - 224 = 0

-------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 8 through :
-------------------------------------------------------------
2x² - x - 28 = 0

-------------------------------------------------------------
Factoise :
-------------------------------------------------------------
(2x + 7) (x - 4) = 0

-------------------------------------------------------------
Apply zero product property:
-------------------------------------------------------------
2x + 7 = 0 or x - 4  = 0
x = -7/2 (rejected) or x = 4

-------------------------------------------------------------
Find the 2 sides :
-------------------------------------------------------------
(4x - 5) = (4(4) - 5) = 11 ft
(4x + 3) = (4(4) + 3)  = 19 ft

-------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The dimensions are 11 ft by 19 ft.

1st. (2 root 2 + root 3 ) ( 2 root 3 - root 2)
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

1st: 3*root6 + 5

2nd: 35*root2 + 115

3rd: 24*root2 - 20*root6 + 15*root3 - 18

4th: 17*root6 - 38

5th: 13*root10 - 42

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify these expressions we need to use the distributive property:

(a + b) * (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

So simplifying each expression, we have:

1st.

(2 root 2 + root 3 ) ( 2 root 3 - root 2)

= 4*root6 - 2*2 + 2*3 - root6

= 3*root6 - 4 + 9

= 3*root6 + 5

2nd.

(root 5 + 2 root 10) (3 root 5 + root 10)

= 3 * 5 + root50 + 6*root50 + 2*10

= 15 + 5*root2 + 30*root2 + 100

= 35*root2 + 115

3rd.

(4 root 6 - 3 root 3) (2 root 3 - 5)

= 8*root18 - 20*root6 - 6*3 + 15root3

= 24*root2 - 20*root6 + 15*root3 - 18

4rd.

(6 root 3 - 5 root 2 ) (2 root 2 - root 3)

= 12*root6 - 6*3 - 10*2 + 5*root6

= 17*root6 - 18 - 20

= 17*root6 - 38

5th.

(root 10 - 3 ) ( 4 - 3 root 10)

= 4*root10 - 3*10 - 12 + 9*root10

= 13*root10 - 30 - 12

= 13*root10 - 42

There are 3 consecutive integers twice the first is 20 more than the second. Find the largest number
Burka [1]
Let's say "n" is a natural number. {1,2,3,4,..} To ensure we have an even number we will multiply "n" by 2. Two times any number will make an even number.

consecutive even numbers are like; 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 .. etc. Add +2 to the previous number to get the next consecutive.

1st even number = 2n
2nd even number = 2n + 2
3rd even number = 2n + 4

twice the first number (2n) is 20 more then the second (2n + 2).

2(2n) = 2n + 2 + 20

4n = 2n + 22

4n - 2n = 22

2n = 22

n = 11

Now use n = 11 to find the 3 consecutive even numbers.

1st even number = 2(11) = 22
2nd even number = 2(11) + 2 = 24
3rd even number = 2(11) + 4 = 26

22, 24, 26
