Answer:
The length side of the original square banner was 9 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x-----> the length side of the original square banner
we know that
The new area of the banner is equal to

Solve for x

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing
The solution is x=9 ft
see the attached figure
Answer:
the two numbers are 16 and -25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be x and y
x+y=-9
x-y=-41
By substitution
y=-9-x
x-(-9-x)=-41
x+9+x=-41
2x=-41-9
2x=-50
x=-25
y=-9-(-25)
y=16
Answer:
5
Explanation:
Let the number equal x. Half the number is then
x

Zero is not viable solution as its reciprocal is infinity. The answer is therefore
x
=
5
X=-1.8
To solve first use the distributive property to change the equation to -2x+1 1/3+1=5
Then you subtract 1 from 5 so then the equation looks like this: -2x+1 1/3=4
Next subtract 1 1/3 from 4 to get 3.6
then divide it by -2 and you get -1.8
