Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller room have an area of x^2
Let the larger room have an area of (x + 3)^2
(x+3) ^2 + x^2 = 89 Be careful not to make it 89^2.
x^2 + 6x + 9 + x^2 = 89 Expand the binomial squared
2x^2 + 6x + 9 - 89 = 0 Subtract 89 from both sides
2x^2 + 6x + 9 - 89 = 0 Combine
2x^2 + 6x - 90=0 Divide by 2
x^2 + 3x - 45 = 0 This factors.
(x + 9)(x- 5) = 0
X + 9 gives nothing useful
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
x + 3 = 5+3 = 8
So the answer is A
Answer: b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Fourth Option
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer to this question you must find the common number and then divide the numerator and the denominator by that number.





Hope this helps.
Multiple both sides by 5/1 and get
-1/1 • (x-4) = -10/1
divide the numbers and get
-1 • (x-4) = -10
remove the parentheses
- x-4 = 10
move the constant to the right
-x = -10-4
calculate
-x = -14
change the signs
x= 14
