Mama L [17]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 2 sqrt(2) - 2 or x = -2 - 2 sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 + 4 x = 4

Add 4 to both sides:

x^2 + 4 x + 4 = 8

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x + 2)^2 = 8

Take the square root of both sides:

x + 2 = 2 sqrt(2) or x + 2 = -2 sqrt(2)

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = 2 sqrt(2) - 2 or x + 2 = -2 sqrt(2)

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer: x = 2 sqrt(2) - 2 or x = -2 - 2 sqrt(2)

Iteru [2.4K]
There are 714 boys in 'your' school, just cross multiply and divide to find your answer. x / 1309 = 6/11 is your formula; 1309 times six is 7854, then divide your product (7854) by 11 to get 714 as x or the number of boys.

Jayden wants to lay sod on his front yard and on half of his back yard. His front yard has a length of 50 feet and a width of 70
lana [24]

The first thing we must do for this case is to calculate the area of both yards.

We have then:

front yard:

A1 = (50) * (80)

A1 = 4000 feet ^ 2

Back yard:

A2 = (10) * (30)

A2 = 300 feet ^ 2

"Jayden wants to lay sod on his front yard and on half of his back yard"

Then, the total amount will be:

A = A1 + (1/2) A2

Substituting:

A = 4000 + (1/2) (300)

A = 4000 + 150

A = 4150 feet ^ 2

Answer:

jayden needs to purchase 4150 square feet of sodd
