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.

Find the x value 4x-28 9x
andriy [413]

Answer: -5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(4x + -28) = 9x

Reorder the terms:

(-28 + 4x) = 9x

Remove parenthesis around (-28 + 4x)

-28 + 4x = 9x

Solving

-28 + 4x = 9x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.

-28 + 4x + -9x = 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 4x + -9x = -5x

-28 + -5x = 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0

-28 + -5x = 0

Add '28' to each side of the equation.

-28 + 28 + -5x = 0 + 28

Combine like terms: -28 + 28 = 0

0 + -5x = 0 + 28

-5x = 0 + 28

Combine like terms: 0 + 28 = 28

-5x = 28

Divide each side by '-5'.

x = -5.6

Simplifying

x = -5.6

Find the nth term of this 5 7 9 11 13
NemiM [27]
Firstly, seeing that the sequence is based on odd numbers I would say that this is the formula (which will allow you to know whatever term):

nth term = 2n-1

Hope this helps!

Warm up. help please
vampirchik [111]
Exponents are similar in concept to multipication. Multiplication is repeated addition and exponents are repeated multiplication.
So x^3 = x*x*x
f(-2) = (-2)(-2)(-2) = -8
Try the others For yourself!
