Answer:

length of side of square = (4x - 5) inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Area of square = 16x² – 40x + 25

Let's find the roots of this quadratic equation [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

Thus;

x = [-(-40) ± √((-40)² - 4(16 × 25)]/(2×16)

x = [40 ± √(1600 - 1600)]/32

x = (40 ± 0)/32

x = 40/32

x = 5/4

Thus, the factors of the polynomial are;

(4x - 5)²

So,

Area = 16x² – 40x + 25 = (4x - 5)²

Since, the right hand side is (4x - 5)² and area of square is (length of side)², thus we can say that length of side of square is (4x - 5) inches

Solve for u:−14u+32=−6.
zubka84 [21]

Answer:u=19/7 or 2.714286 or 2 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

−14u+32=−6

Step 1: Subtract 32 from both sides.

-14u+32-32=-6-32

-14u=-38

Step 2: Divide both sides by -14.

-14u/-14=-38/-14

U=19/7

Algebra expressions for 1/4 <br> the amount of salt
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

1/4 x

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this because you don't know the amount of salt so that would be labeled x.
