16 balls. 

Let's call x the total number of golf balls that Ricardo had before he lost the first 6 balls. (x - 6).
Then he bought 12 more and lost 4 so basically 12 - 4 = 8
Add that to the equation: (x-6) + 8
And now that he has 18 golf balls at end of the second day the total must add to 18.

Full equation: (x-6) + 8 = 18

(x-6) + 8 = 18
(x-6) = 18 - 8 <-- Transpose
(x-6) = 10
16 - 6 = 10 <-- What would x have to be inoder to make this equation true? 16!
So x = 16

16 is the number of golf balls the Ricardo began with.

I'm confused on how to find the length of this triangle.​
sertanlavr [38]

the formula for area=l*w

you know one side is 1.1w (w representing the unknown side) and the area is 3.3w squared. now you need to plug in the numbers you know into your formula which would look like this: 3.3w squared is equal to 1.1w times w. now you need to solve for w by multiplying 1.1w and w to get 1.1w squared. now you are going to divide 1.1 w squared on both sides which gives you w equals 3

Final answer: w=3

Solve 4(x + 2) = 20
KiRa [710]

Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

\sf 4(x + 2) = 20

\sf 4x + 8 = 20

\sf 4x = 20 - 8

\sf 4x = 12

\sf x = \frac{12}{4}

\sf x = 3

check:

4(x + 2) = 20

4(3 + 2) = 20

4(5) = 20

20 = 20

Hence proved x = 3

Find the polynomial of lowest degree with only real coefficients and having the given zeros. -7i and square root of 2
mario62 [17]

Answer:

x³ - (√2)x² + 49x - 49√2

Step-by-step explanation:

If one root is -7i, another root must be 7i.  You can't just have one root with i.  The other roos is √2, so there are 3 roots.  

x = -7i       is one root,

   (x + 7i) = 0    is the factor

x = 7i       is one root

  (x - 7i) = 0     is the factor

x = √2      is one root

    (x - √2) = 0   is the factor

So the factors are...

(x + 7i)(x - 7i)(x - √2) = 0

Multiply these out to find the polynomial...

(x + 7i)(x - 7i) =  x² + 7i - 7i - 49i²

Which simplifies to

  x² - 49i²        since i² = -1 , we have

    x² - 49(-1)  

 

      x² + 49

Now we have...

(x² + 49)(x - √2) = 0

Now foil this out...

 x²(x) - x²(-√2) + 49(x) + 49(-√2) = 0

     x³ + (√2)x² + 49x - 49√2
