Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor in front of x must be the same in both equations.

So (a+2) in the first must be 3 (like it is in the second).

That is the case when a=1.

So the +7 and the -4 are not relevant!

Calculate the area of each circle and show work

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

$area = 2.54 {ft}^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the area of a circle is

$area \: of \: circle \: = \pi {r}^{2}$

Let pi be (3.14), the radios as given in the question is (0.9). Therefore;

$\pi {r}^{2} = \\ (3.14) \: {(0.9)}^{2} \\ 3.14 \times 0.81 = \\ 2.5434 \: or \: 2.54 {ft}^{2}$

A clock is constructed using a regular polygon with 60 sides. The polygon rotates every minute. How much has the polygon rotated

stepladder [879]

Answer:42°

Step-by-step explanation:So each minute, it advances by 1/60 of a complete rotation. A complete rotation is, of course, 360° . So each minute, it advances (360°/60) = 6° . (6° / minute) x (7 minutes) = 42°

lina2011 [118]

Answer: Each girl will receive $18.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Two girls babysat three children for five hours.

Hourly pay for each child = $2.50

Payment for 5 hours per child = $5\times\$2.50=\$12.5$

Payment to 3 children for 5 hours = $3\times \$12.5=\$37.5$

So, the amount received by each girl = $\dfrac{\text{Payment to 3 children for 5 hours}}{2}$

$=\dfrac{37.5}{2}=\$18.75$

Hence, each girl will receive $18.75.

How to simplify radicals into simplest radical form?

liraira [26]

An example should help :-

Simplify sqrt 20:-

sqrt 20 = sqrt (4 * 5) = sqrt 4 * sqrt5 = 2 sqrt5

cube root of 54 = cube root 27 * cube root 2 = 3 cube root 2

The rule is to factor the number and look for perfect squares or cubes, etc.
