Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age of wise man

3 time his age = 3x

400 reduced by 3 times his age = 400 - 3x

400 - 3x = 163

-3x = 163 - 400

-3x = -237

x = -237/-3

x = 79 years

Answer: $46x^2+73x+15$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be calculated with the formula:

$A=lw$

l: the length of the rectangle.

w: the width of the rectangle.

The area of the remaning wall after the mural has been painted, will be the difference of the area of the wall and the area of the mural.

Knowing that the dimensions of the wall are $(6x+7)$ by $(8x+5)$ , its area is:

$A_w=(6x+7)(8x+5)\\\\A_w=48x^2+30x+56x+35\\\\A_w=48x^2+86x+35$

As they are planning that the dimensions of the mural be $(x+4)$ by $(2x+5)$ , its area is:

$A_m=(x+4)(2x+5)\\\\A_m=2x^2+5x+8x+20\\\\A_m=2x^2+13x+20$

Then the area of the remaining wall after the mural has been painted is:

$A_{(remaining)}=A_w-A_m\\\\A_{(remaining)}=48x^2+86x+35-(2x^2+13x+20)\\\\A_{(remaining)}=48x^2+86x+35-2x^2-13x-20\\\\A_{(remaining)}=46x^2+73x+15$

Solve for x.3-sqrt(x)=0 What is the root? If there is none, choose none. x = 3 x = 9 none

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this problem by isolating the variable.

3-√x = 0

√x = 3 (add √x to both sides of the equation)

x = 9 (square both sides of the equation)

Answer:

$\: \sqrt{81 } = 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{81 } = \sqrt{3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3} \\ = 3 \times 3 \\ =9$
