<em>2 solutions</em>
<em>X= 16</em>
<em>X=49</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>original equation</em>
<em>x-11√x+28 = 0</em>
<em> Isolate</em>
<em> -11√x = -x-28+0</em>
<em> Tidy up</em>
<em> 11√x = x+28</em>
<em> Raise both sides to the second power</em>
<em> (11√x)2 = (x+28)2</em>
<em>After squaring</em>
<em> 121x = x2+56x+784</em>
<em> Plug in 49 for x </em>
<em> 11√(49) = (49)+28</em>
<em>Simplify</em>
<em> 11√49 = 77</em>
<em> Solution checks !!</em>
<em> Solution is:</em>
x = 49
<em>Plug in 16 for x </em>
<em> 11√(16) = (16)+28</em>
<em>Simplify</em>
<em> 11√16 = 44</em>
<em> Solution checks !!</em>
<em> Solution is:</em>
x = 16
The slope of the first equation would be -5/2 because
2y=-5x+8
y=-5x/2+4
The y intercept of the 2nd equation is when x=0, so -7y=10
y=-10/7
The equation of the line would be y=-5x/2-10/7
Or in standard form....
5x/2+y=-10/7
5x+27=-20/7
If the sum of their lengths is 5,520 miles then River D is 2360 and River C is 3160
