Answer:

The correct answer is 15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the required poster be a cm.

We need to have a 6 cm margin at the top and a 4 cm margin at the bottom. Thus total margin combining top and bottom is 10 cm.

Similarly total margin combining both the sides is (4+4=) 8 cm.

So the required printing area of the poster is given by {( a-10 ) × ( a - 8) } cm^{2}

This area is equal to 125 cm^{2} as per as the given problem.

∴ (a - 10) × (a - 8) = 125

⇒ a^{2} - 18 a +80 -125 =0

⇒ a^{2} - 18 a -45 = 0

⇒ (a-15) (a-3) = 0

By law of trichotomy the possible values of a are 15 and 3.

But a=3 is absurd as a > 4.

Thus the required answer is 15 cm.

So, coordinates of QRST will be:

Q(2,−1),R(3,−4),S(5,−3),T(4,0)

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of given parallelogram ABCD are A(2,1),B(3,4),C(5,3), and D(4,0).

ABCD is reflected over the x-axis to create parallelogram QRST

We need to find coordinates of QRST.

When the graph is reflected across x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, while y-coordinate becomes opposite i.e the sign is changed of the given coordinate.

So, coordinates of QRST will be:

Q(2,−1),R(3,−4),S(5,−3),T(4,0)

All the y-coordinates have been converted to their opposite signs

So, Option D is correct.

PLS ANSWER THE BELOW QUESTION AND I'LL MARK U AS BRAINLIST
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) \dfrac{3x}{2}-5=4

Add 5 to both sides

\dfrac{3x}{2}-5 +5 = 4 + 5\\\\\dfrac{3x}{2} = 9 \\\\Now \ multiply \ both \ sides  \ by  \  2 \\\\\dfrac{3x}{2}*2 = 9*2\\\\3x = 18\\Now \ divide \ both \ sides  \ by \ 3\\\\x =\dfrac{18}{3}\\\\

x = 6

b) \dfrac{x-3}{5} + 1 = -2\\\\\\Subtract \ 1 \ from  \ both \ sides\\\\\dfrac{x-3}{5} = -2 -1\\\\\dfrac{x-3}{5} = -3\\\\Multiply \ both \ side \ by \ 5\\\\x - 3 = -3*5\\\\x -3 = -15\\\\

Add 3 to both sides

x = -15 +3

x = -12
