Answer:

x=-\frac{9}{4} \\ or \:\\x = -2\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 (x + 1/4)+1=5\\\\-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)+1=5\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)+1-1=5-1\\\\Simplify\\-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)=4\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-2\\\frac{-2\left(x+\frac{1}{4}\right)}{-2}=\frac{4}{-2}\\\\Simplify\\x+\frac{1}{4}=-2\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{1}{4}\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=-2-\frac{1}{4}\\\\Simplify\\x=-\frac{9}{4}\\\\x = -2\frac{1}{4}

The area of a rectangular concrete patio is 70 square meters. the perimeter is 34 meters. what are the dimensions of the patio?
Finger [1]
A = L * W
A = 70

70 = L * W

P = 2(L + W)
P = 34

34 = 2(L + W)
34/2 = L + W
17 = L + W
17 - W = L

70 = L * W
L = 17 - W

70 = W(17 - W)
70 = -W^2 + 17W
W^2 - 17W + 70 = 0
(W - 10)(W - 7) = 0

W - 10 = 0        L = 17 - 10
W = 10              L = 7

W - 7 = 0          L = 17 - 7
W = 7               L = 10

so either the width is 10 meters and the length is 7 meters OR the width is 7 meters and the length is 10 meters

Does Every positive real number have both a positive and negative cube root?
vovangra [49]
Yes. For example, 25. The square root of 25 is 5 because 5*5=25. Multiplying two negatives always= a positive, so -5*-5=25.
