<span>2(30)+2x=860 

This is because the 4 sides of the rectangle add up to the perimeter. 
The unknown side is x, and there are two of those, and there are also two sides of 30. 
They all add up to the perimeter. 

So: 
2(30) + 2x = 860</span>

Answer in factored form x^2+11x+7

X² <span>+ 11x + 7

because 7 is a prime number, this doesn't factor prettily. you'll want to use the quadratic formula; if you aren't familiar with it, i'd either research it or look it up in your textbook, because it's clunky and not easily understood in this format:

(-b </span>± √((b)² - 4ac))/(2a)

in your equation x² + 11x + 7 ... a = 1, b = 11, and c = 7. what you do is you take the coefficients of every term, then plug it into your equation:
(-11 ± √((11)² - 4(1)(7))/(2(1))

not pretty, i know. but, regardless, you can simplify it:
(-11 ± √((11)² - 4(1)(7))/(2(1))
(-11 ± √(121 - 28))/2
(-11 ± √93)/2

and you can't simplify it further. -11 isn't divisible by 2, and 93 doesn't have a perfect square that you can take out from beneath the radical. the ± plus/minus symbol indicates that you have 2 answers, so you can write them out separately:

(x - (-11 - √93)/2) and (x + (-11 - √93)/2)

they look confusing, but those are your two factors. they can be simplified just slightly by changing the signs in the middle due to the -11:

(x + (11 + √93)/2) (x - (11 - √93)/2)

and how these would read, just in case the formatting is too confusing for you: x plus the fraction 11 + root 93 divided by 2. the 11s and root 93s are your numerator, 2s are your denominator.

Pls help me to solve this

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

19-3 will be greater

We are multiplying 1/2 *(19-3) which is multiplying by a number less than 1 it will be less than 1

18-3 = 16

1/2 * (19-3)

Using PEMDAS

We do parentheses first

1/2 ( 16)

Then multiply

8
