The equation A = x(x-4) describes the area, A, of a rectangular flower garden, where x is the width in feet.

Answer:

The flower garden width would be 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 12 ft^2 = x(x + 4) becomes:

x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0, or (by completing the square) x^2 + 4x + 4 - 4 - 12 = 0

Thus, we have (x + 2)^2 - 16 = 0, or (x + 2)^2 = 16

Taking the square root of both sides yields x + 2 = ±4.

In this context only a positive x value makes sense:  x = 2 + 4  =>  x = 6.

The flower garden width would be 6 ft.  The other dimension would be 6 - 4, or 2, ft.

The bike store marks up the wholesale cost of all of the bikes they sell by 30%. Andre wants to buy a bike that has a price tag
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

$96.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

markup = 30%

cost price= $125

let the cost price before markup be x

125-30/100*x= x

125-0.3x= x

125= x+0.3x

125= 1.3x

divide both sides by 1.3

x= 125/1.3

x= $96.15

Hence the price before markup is $96.15

which of the following are right triangles: a triangle with side lenghts 6 inches, 8 inches,10 inches, a triangle with side leng
amid [387]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • (6, 8, 10) right
  • (8, 15, 17) right
  • (5, 12, 13) right

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be helpful to memorize a few of the Pythagorean triples that show up in Algebra problems. Their multiples also form right triangles.

  (3, 4, 5), (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25), (8, 15, 17), (9, 40, 41)

The triple (6, 8, 10) is the first one of these, multiplied by 2 inches.

The only triple that is a sequence of consecutive integers is (3, 4, 5), so you know immediately that (4, 5, 6) does not form a right triangle.

Of course, you can check any of them to see if the squares of the smaller two numbers total the square of the larger number:

  4² +5² = 16 +25 = 41 ≠ 6² . . . . . (4, 5, 6) is not a right triangle
