Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The total measures of a circle must add up to 360°. In the diagram given there are two angles that are not given, however, both of these should be equal to each other. That means that the sum of the other two angles ('5x - 5' and 93°) must be equal to the other angle of the same measure (138°):
5x - 5 + 93 = 138
Combine like terms: 5x + 88 = 138
Subtract 88 from both sides: 5x + 88 - 88 = 138 - 88 or 5x = 50
Divide by 5: 5x/5 = 50/5 or x = 10
Answer:
6p - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression that needs to be made in this question refers to the total number of people that signed the petition. To calculate this we need to add the total number of signatures that both you and your friend were able to acquire. Once we do this we simply combine like terms in order to simplify the expression as much as possible.
4p + 5 + 2p - 3
4p + 2p + 5 - 3
6p - 2
Therefore, the total and simplified expression for the total number of signatures would be 6p - 2
<span>To minimize the perimeter you should always have a square.
sqrt(289) = 17
The dimensions should be 17 X 17
To see , try starting at length 1, and gradually increase the length.
The height decreases at a faster rate than the length increases, up until you reach a square.
Or if you want to use algebra, Say the width is 17-x
Then the length is 289/(17-x)
Now, this is bigger than 17+x, as shown here:
289/(17-x) > 17+x
289 > 289 - x^2
which is true.
so the perimeter would be bigger than 2 * (17- x + 17 + x) = 2 * (2 * 17) = 4 * 17
Again, the dimensions should be a square. 17 X 17.</span>

Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant is ...
b^2 -4ac = (-4)^2 -4(2)(16) = 16 -128 = -112
A negative discriminant means there are no real solutions to the equation.
_____
The complex solutions are 1±i√7.
If we assume the equation has a typographical error and is intended to be ...
2x^2 -4x -16 = 0
The solutions are x = -2 and x = 4.
