I am assuming you wrote the problem wrong. Is it a^2?
A^2 -4A-21=0
(A-7)(A+3)=0
A=7 A=-3, ignore the negative number because it doesn't make sense if you plug in for a.
length=a+3=7+3=10
Width=7=a
Answer:
a. x = 5, m∠FGH = 22°
b. m∠HGI = 22°
c. m∠FGI = 44°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since GH bisects FGI this means it divides the angle in two equal parts.
a. solving for x means equating them:
5x-3 = 6x-8 =>
5x - 6x = 3 - 8 =>
x = 5.
Both m∠FGH and m∠HGI are 5*5-3 = 22°
c. Add both angles: m∠FGH + m∠HGI = 44°
Answer:
Equation: 10+x= 15 +0.5x
Time: 10 days
Amount: 20$
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equation for Benito:</u>
<u>Equation for Tavon:</u>
<u>Since the sums equalize at some time, we get:</u>
- 10+x= 15 +0.5x
- x - 05x = 15- 10
- 0.5x = 5
- x= 5/0.5
- x= 10 days
After 10 days, Juan will owe both Benito and Tavon $20
