1. Regroup terms
x(x+5)=104

2. Expand
x^2+5x=104

3. Move all terms to one side
x^2+5x-104=0

4. Factor x^2+5x-104
(x-8)(x+13)=0

5. Solve for x
x=8 or x=-13
Since x<0 is not possible in this case, x=8

6. Finding the dimensions
We know that one side has to be x+5, and now that we know x:
8+5=13
13*8=104

The dimensions are 13 and 8, have a nice day :D

Suppose you know the perimeter of n octagons arranged as shown. What would you do to find the perimeter if 1 more octagon was ad
kogti [31]

As shown in the figures given :

For Figure 1 : perimeter = 8 units   [As can be seen in the figure]

For figure 2(with 2 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 2 - 1 = 15 units    [since 1 side is common ]

For figure 2(with 3 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 3 - 2 = 22 units  [since 2 sides is common ]

If one more octagon is added

then perimeter = 8 × 4 - 3 = 29 units    [since 3 sides will be common ]

What are the x and y-intercepts of the line described by the equation?
KiRa [710]

Answer:

x-int (6.2, 0)

y-int (0, 3.1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept is found when y = 0.

y-intercept is found when x = 0.

Step 1: Define equation

2x + 4y = 12.4

Step 2: Find x-intercept

<em>Substitute y for 0.</em>

2x + 4(0) = 12.4

2x = 12.4

x = 6.2

(6.2, 0)

Step 3: Find y-intercept

<em>Substitute x for 0.</em>

2(0) + 4y = 12.4

4y = 12.4

y = 3.1

(0, 3.1)

5x - (x + 3)= 1/3 (9x + 18) - 5
telo118 [61]
1/3(9x) =3x
1/3(18) =6

3x+6-5

Then you do
-(x)=-x
-(3)=-3

5x-x-3 = 4x-3

4x-3=3x+6-5
4x-3=3x+1

x=4
