To determine the unit rate of pages, that is, the number of pages Leo reads in one hour you can use cross multiplication
1/3h _____14 pages
1h______x pages

Leo reads 42pages/hour
Take half of the coefficient of x: It is 3, and half that is 3/2.
Then <span>x^2+3x=6 becomes:
</span><span> x^2+3x + (3/2)^2 =6 + (3/2)^2, and
(x+3/2)^2 = 6 + 9/4
You were not asked to solve the equation, but why not do it for the practice?
</span>Solve (x+3/2)^2 = 6 + 9/4 for x. There will be 2 values.
Simplify by dividing the two by 14
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that all lengths in a rhombus are equal so we make the 2 equations equal to each other, then solve for x:



x=4
