Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Length of the rectangle = x

Width = x - 2

Perimeter = 16 cm

2 * ( length + width) = 16

2 * ( x + x-2 ) = 16

2 * (2x - 2) = 16

2x - 2 = 16 /2

2x - 2 = 8

2x = 8+2

2x= 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

Length of the rectangle = 5 cm

Determine the factors of x2 − 7x − 10. (5 points) a (x + 2)(x − 5) b Prime c (x − 2)(x + 5) d (x + 10)(x − 1)

Savatey [412]

For this case we must factor the following expression:

$x ^ 2-7x-10$

To factor, we must find two numbers that when added together give -7 and when multiplied by -10.

It is observed that there are not two whole numbers that comply with the aforementioned.

Thus, the following equation applies:

$x = \frac {-b \pm\sqrt{b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2 (a)}$

Where:

$a = 1\\b = -7\\c = -10$

We replace:

$x = \frac {- (- 7) \pm \sqrt {(- 7) ^ 2-4 (1) (- 10)}} {2 (1)}\\x = \frac {7 \pm \sqrt {49 + 40}} {2}\\x = \frac {7 \sqrt {89}} {2}$

So, the roots are:

$x_ {1} =\frac {7+ \sqrt {89}} {2}\\x_ {2} =\frac {7- \sqrt {89}} {2}$

Answer:

$x_ {1} =\frac {7+ \sqrt {89}} {2}\\x_ {2} =\frac {7- \sqrt {89}} {2}$

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Shane spends $2,000 each week for supplies and labor to run his car detailing business. This means that his total cost of running his car detailing business is $2000

Let x represent the number of cars that he would need. If he charges $30 for each car, the total amount charged for x cars would be 30×x = $30x

Let y represent the number of trucks that he would need. If he charges $45 for each car, the total amount charged for y trucks would be 45×y = $45y

In order to make profit, the inequality would be

30x + 45y greater than 2000

Geoff earns 10% commission on his total sales at work..To pay for a concert ticket, Geoff needs to earn $135 in commission. What

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

$1350

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage commision earned = 10%

Amount needed to pay for concert = $135

Hence, total sales for the week must be :

Let total sales = x

10% of total sales = $135

10/ 100 * x = $135

0.1x = $135

x = $135 / 0.1

x = $1350
