Answer:
a = 4, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent , then
WX = YZ , that is
a² + 5a = 5a + 16 ( subtract 5a from both sides )
a² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )
a = ± 
= ± 4
Since a > 0 , then a = 4
Also
XY = WZ , that is
x² + 6x = 4x + 3 ( subtract 4x + 3 from both sides )
x² + 2x - 3 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
Since x > 0 , then x = 1
SHORT ANSWER: 84cm
Let width = w
Let length = w + 5
The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its width by length and the problem states that the area is 84 cm2.
(Width)(Length) = 84
(w)(w + 5) = 84
w2 + 5w = 84
w2 + 5w - 84 = 0
(w + 12)(w -7) = 0
w + 12 = 0
w = -12
The width of a rectangle can't be NEGATIVE!!! Forget about that!
w - 7 = 0
w = 7
Now go back to naming the variables and replace the w with 7.
Length = w + 5 = 7 + 5 = 12
Width is 7 cm. Length is 12 cm.
Check it. Is 7 x 12 = 84? Yes.
He is incorrect. you first have to find the least common denominator and that is 6. so then you would have 3/6- 2/6. that would equal 1/6.
Answer:
c) multiply both sides of the equation by 't.'

Answer:
5√5
Step-by-step explanation:
You can rewrite √75 as √(25 * 5) and since 25 is a perfect square, you can find the square root and take that outside of the square root. √25 = 5, so √75 is equal to 5√5, and that cannot be simplified furthermore.
