Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Let the width = x
Let the length = x + 5
Equation
2w + 2W = P
Solution
2x + 2(x + 5) = 192 Remove the brackets <=== Answer
2x + 2x + 10 = 192 Combine like terms
4x + 10 = 192 Subtract 10 from both sides
4x = 192 - 10
4x = 182 Divide by 4
4x/4 = 182/4
x = 45.5
4/1 / 5/2 = 4/1 * 2/5 = 8/5
1 7/8 = 15/8
15/8 * 8/5 = 120/40 = 12/4 = 3 inches
shorter side should be 3 inches
Take the root of both sides, and solve.
x = 2i sqrt 2, -2i sqrt 2.
Answer:B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a = 3 and b = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Independent Equations
Lines intersect
One solution
In this case the two equations describe lines that intersect at one particular point. Clearly this point is on both lines, and therefore its coordinates (x, y) will satisfy the equation of either line. Thus the pair (x, y) is the one and only solution to the system of equations. One solution is called "consistent". This shows two distinct non-parallel lines that cross at exactly one point. This is called an "independent" system of equations, and the solution is always some x, y-point.
