Answer:

AB=29; BC=27

Step-by-step explanation:

So they told us AB=4x+9 and that BC=5x+2, and AC=56 , now to help with the question you can draw this information on a number line. Now on a number you can see that basically AC=AB+BC.

So you would write it as such,,

4x+9+5x+2=56

Combine like terms

9x+11=56

Now you have to isolate the x by itself but first get rid of the 11.

9x+11-11=56-11

You would get

9x=45

Here you can divide 9 by both sides to isolate x.

9x/9=45/9

{x=5}

Now to find the value for both substitue x in the equations for both

1. AB=4x+9 where x is 5

4(5)+9 =AB

20+9 =AB

29=AB

You would do the same with BC

2. BC= 5x+2 where x is 5

5(5)+2= BC

25+2= BC

27=BC

If you want to check your answers you can just substitute x for 5 in the first equation we did where AC=AB+BC

Please help. A rectangle's length and width are in a ratio of 7:3. The area is 84 square feet. What are the
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

length = 14 feet

width = 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 84 feet square

ratio of length and width = 7 : 3

total ratio of length and width 10 = a

length = (7/10)a

width = (3/10)a

A = length x width = (7/10)a x (3/10)a = (21/100)a² = 84

a² = 84 x 100 : 21 = 400

a = 20 feet

length = 7/10 x 20 = 14 feet

width = 3/10 x 20 = 6 feet

If (4x−7)2=ax2+bx+c for all values of x, what is the value of c(b+a)?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

  -1960

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression on the left expands to ...

  (4x -7)² = (4x)² +2(4x)(-7) +(-7)² = 16x² -56x +49

Matching coefficients, you have ...

  • a = 16
  • b = -56
  • c = 49

Then the expression c(b+a) evaluates to ...

  49(-56+16) = 49(-40) = -1960
