Step-by-step explanation:
x - 7 < -20
x < -20 + 7
x < -13
X = (-12, -11, -10,...)
Answer:
<u><em>6</em></u> rolls because the total perimeter is 102 ft and five rolls is only 100 feet. So she needs <em><u>6</u></em> rolls.
Step-by-step explanation:
to find perimeter, add up all the side lengths.
so 15*4 (it's easier than 15+15+15...)
60 ft.
now we have to use Pythagorean's Theorum to find corner to corner.
so
we have a and b
do the math...
225+225= 450
square root of 450=
21.213
double that because it's used twice (corner to corner and corner to corner)
42.426
now add it all up
42.426 + 60 = 102.426
we can round
102
20*5 = 100
so she needs 6
MY ORIGINAL ERROR WAS 5, BUT 5 TIMES 20 IS ONLY 80, SO THEREFORE 6 IS REQUIRED SO THERE IS ENOUGH TO COVER 102.
If you take the square root of a number squared number then they cancel each other out and the number stays the same i.e. √[(4)^2] would equal 4.
In this problem the square root and numbered squared cancel out to leave the problem as -2a.
The solution of this problem is -2a
#4)
cross multiply
2(8x+10) = 4 * 5x
16x + 20 = 20x
4x = 20
x = 5
