<span>3(5x + 4) - 20 - 13x = -4
first use the distributive property with </span><span>3(5x + 4)
15x+12-20-13x=-4
combine like terms
2x-8=-4
add 8 to both sides
2x=4
divide both sides by 2
x=2</span>
Answer: x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
2+x = 2x-15
subtract x on both sides
2 = x -15
add 15 to both sides
17 = x
------------------
17+2 = 2(17)-15
19 = 34 -15
19 = 19
Answer:
C. 1.5w^2 + 7.5w + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Without frame:
The width is w. The height is 1.5w.
With frame:
The width is w + 1.5 + 1.5 = w + 3
The height is 1.5w + 1.5 + 1.5 = 1.5w + 3
The area of the framed portrait is height * width
area = (1.5w + 3)(w + 3)
area = 1.5w^2 + 4.5w + 3w + 9
area = 1.5w^2 + 7.5w + 9
58
Sorry if I got that wrong
For #2 just do Pythagorean theorem. That is 5²+h²=10²
25+h²=100
h²=75
h=sqrt(75)
Use a calculator to approximate the height
And I think it is irrational because square roots are not exact rational numbers
