Answer:

The width of the frame is equal to 8\ cm  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the width of the frame picture

we know that

(28-2x)(32-2x)=192    

896-56x-64x+4x^{2} =192

4x^{2}-120x+704=0  

Simplify

x^{2}-30x+176=0

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

x^{2}-30x+176=0

so

a=1\\b=-30\\c=176

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{30(+/-)\sqrt{(-30)^{2}-4(1)(176)}} {2(1)}

x=\frac{30(+/-)\sqrt{196}} {2}

x=\frac{30(+/-)14} {2}

x=\frac{30+14} {2}=22\ cm  ----> this solution is not logic

x=\frac{30-14} {2}=8\ cm  

The width of the frame is equal to 8\ cm

Let a=3/5 and let b=2/3. Compute a^2b^-3.
Amanda [17]

Answer: 81/100



Step-by-step explanation:

I don't guarantee you I am right but..

first, solve for the exponents after substituting the numbers in

3/5 x 3/5 is 9/25

since b's exponent is negative, you change the fraction into its reciprocal and then do it with the exponent but positive

2/3^-3 to 3/2^3 and 3/2 x 3/2 is 9/4

then you mutiply both numbers to get 9/4 x 9/25 is 81/100

Printing a newsletter cost $1.50 per copy plus $450 in printers fee. The copies are sold for $3 each. How many copies of the new
e-lub [12.9K]
1.50x + 450 = 3x
450 = 3x - 1.50x
450 = 1.50x
450/1.50 = x
300 = x

300 copies must be sold to break even
