x=2nd side

2x=1st side

3x-20=3rd side

x+(2x)+(3x-20)=106

6x-20=106

6x-20+20=106+20

6x=126

6x/6=126/6

x=21

1st side=42 ft

2nd side-21 ft

3rd side=43 ft

Find all roots: x^3-7x^2-12x = 0
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The roots are  0, 3 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3-7x^2-12x = 0   Take out x:

x(x^2 - 7x - 12) = 0  Factor the expression in the brackets:

x(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0

x = 0 or x - 3 = 0 or x - 4 = 0, so

The roots are  0, 3 and 4.

Answer:

The system is consistent; it has one solution ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

A consistent system of equations has at least one solution

  • The consistent independent system has exactly 1 solution
  • The consistent dependent system has infinitely many solutions

An inconsistent system has no solution

In the system of equations ax + by = c and dx + ey = f, if

  1. a = d, b = e, and c = f, then the system is consistent dependent and has infinitely many solutions
  2. a = d, b = e, and c ≠ f, then the system is inconsistent and has no solution
  3. a ≠ d, and/or b ≠ e, and/or c ≠ f, then the system is consistent independent and has exactly one solution

In the given system of equations

∵ -2y + 2x = 3 ⇒ (1)

∵ -5y + 5x = 12 ⇒ (2)

→ By comparing equations (1) and (2)

∵ -2 ≠ -5

∵ 2 ≠ 5

∵ 3 ≠ 12

→ By using the 3rd rule above

∴ The system is consistent independent and has exactly one solution

∴ The system is consistent; it has one solution
