X^2 and 5x both have x in common to factor out. To add or subtract them, 5x^2 is the least common denominator .
1. Using your straightedge, draw a reference line, if one is not provided.
2. Copy the side of the square onto the reference line, starting at a point labeled A'.
3. Construct a perpendicular at point B' to the line through ab2.
4. Place your compass point at B', and copy the side of the square onto the perpendicular b'g. Label the end of the segment copy as point C.
5. With your compass still set at a span representing AB, place the compass point at C and swing an arc to the left.
6. Holding this same span, place the compass point at A' and swing an arc intersecting with the previous arc. Label the point of intersection as D.
7. Connect points A' to D, D to C, and C to B' to form a square.
34/85%=34/0.85=40
So that's your answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2 sets of possible solutions:
x=3, y = 5
and
x=-1, y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the graphical method, (see attached)
you can graph both equations and find their intersection points.
From the attached plot, you can see that the graphs intersect at (3,5) and (-1,-3)
Alternatively, you can solve this numerically by solving the following system of equations. You will get the same answer.
y = 2x + 1 ------------------- eq. (1)
y = x² - 4 ------------------- eq. (2)
