Answer:

The answer is m = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the proportional equation, this way:

3/m-2 = 7/m+2

3 * (m + 2) = 7 * (m - 2) [Lowest common denominator (m + 2) * (m - 2)]

3m + 6 = 7m - 14

-4m = -14 - 6 (Like terms)

-4m = -20

m = -20/-4

m = 5

The answer is m = 5

Answer:

area = 22,272

Step-by-step explanation:

area = length * width

to calculate the width, we need the first segment using the pythagorean theorem

$87^{2} + x^{2} = 145^{2}$

$7569 + x^{2} = 21025$

$x^{2} = 13456$

$x = 116$

length = 116 + 140 = 256

area = 87 * 256 = 22,272

R^2+8r=-7 solve the equation with the quadratic formula showing work

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r²+8r=−7

Step 1: Subtract -7 from both sides.

r²+8r−(−7)=−7−(−7)

r²+8r+7=0

Step 2: Use quadratic formula with a=1, b=8, c=7.

r= $r=\frac{-b+or-\sqrt{-4ac} }{2a}$

$r=\frac{-8+or-\sqrt{(8})^2-4(1)(7) }{2(1)}$
