My recommendation would be to factor..
x² + 4x + 3 = 0 factor the left side into two binomials
(x + 3)(x + 1) = 0 set each of these binomials equal to zero and solve
x + 3 = 0 Implies x = -3
x + 1 = 0 implies x = -1
Each square is 2.2*2.2= 4.84 sqin
6 squares: 4.84*6= 29.04
hope this helps
The answer is 13, i got this by using the pythagorean theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2. in this case it would be 84^2 + b^2 = 85^2. then that would turn into 7056 + b^2 = 7225, subtract both sides by 7056 to get b^2 = 169, then square 169 to get 13 :)
<u>Answer:</u>
- The length of BC is 25 units.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>We know that the triangle is an isosceles triangle. Hence, we know that AB = AC. Let's first solve for x.</u>
- => 4x + 1 = 2x + 23
- => 4x - 2x = -1 + 23
- => 2x = 22
- => <u>x = 11</u>
<u>Now, let's substitute the value into the expression.</u>
- => 3x - 8
- => 3(11) - 8
- => 33 - 8
- => <u>25</u>
<u>Hence,</u><u> the length of BC is 25 units.</u>
Hoped this helped.
3[x+3(4x-5)]=15x-24; x+12x-15=5x-8 (divide both sides by 3); 8x=7 (move all the x's to one side), x=7/8
