-2b-6+3b-2
collect like terms
-2b+3b=b
-6-2=-8

To simplify this problem you need to combine like-terms.
-2b + 3b = b
-6 + (-2) = -8
So your simplified answer would be -
b + (-8)
Hope I helped!

The Art Club wants to paint a rectangle-shaped mural to celebrate the winners of the track and field meet. They design a checker

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

72 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Length of rectangle=423 inches

Width of rectangle=360 inches

We have to find the side length of the largest square they can use to fill the checkboard pattern completely without overlap or gaps with the help of Euclid's algorithm.

In order to find the largest side of square we will find HCF (432,360).

Euclid's algorithm

$a=bq+r$

a=dividend

b=divisor

q=quotient

r=remainder

a=432,b=360

$432=360\times 1+72$

$360=72\times 5+0$

HCF(432,360)=72

Hence, the side of largest square=72 inches

Find the length of a rectangle with a diagonal of 10 and a height of 8.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diagonal of a rectangle is 10 and the height is 8.

Please understand, that a diagonal, divides the rectangle into two tringles.

To find the length of the rectangle, you can use Pythagoras on one of the right sided triangles, because the length of the triangle, is also the length of the rectangle!

EXTRA:

If you know the special 3 4 5 triangle, a so called Pythagorean Triple, then you can "see" the simularity between the numbers.

Instead of 5, a diagonal of 10 is given (factor of 2 bigger).

Instead of 4, the height of 8 is given (factor of 2 bigger). By scaling the Pythagorean Triple 3 4 5 by a factor of 2, you get the numbers 6 8 10. Could it be, that the number we need to find, is six?

Try to verify, by calculating the missing number (which is the length of the rectangle we are looking for).

a² + b² = c²

a = length (and is unknown)

b = height = 8

c = hypothenusa/diagonal = 10

Substitute the numbers given:

a² + 8² = 10²

Subtract 8² left and right of the = sign.

a² +8² -8² = 10² - 8²

a² + 0 = 100 - 64

a² = 36

a = + - √36

a = + - 6

EXTRA:

You can ignore the -√36 = -6 part of the solution, because a length of -6 has no meaning here.

a = 6

So, the length of the triangle is 6 and thus, the length of the rectangle is also 6.
