Answer:
Michael and Carlos will have the same amount after 7 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the total number of baseball cards that Carlos and Michael need to have to be equal is y, and the amount of time in terms of weeks that it will take for this to be achieved is x.
The following expressions can be derived
For Carlos to achieve y, he will need 85 and an addition of 10 per week (x):
y=85+(10x)..........equation 1
For Michael to achieve y, he will need 120 and an addition of 5 per week (x):
y=120+(5x)..........equation 2
Equating equation 1 and 2 to solve for x
85+10x=120+5x
10x-5x=120-85
5x/5=35/5
x=7
Number of weeks it will take Michael and Carlos to have the same amount=x=7 weeks
Answer:
x²-12x+36
Step-by-step explanation:
an expression in the form (a-b)² is expanded to the form a²-2ab+b²
you can also expand it to (x-6)×(x-6) then multiply the first term by the first the outer term by the outer term the inner term by the inner term and the last term by the last term (foil)
the first terms are x and x = x² the outer terms are x and -6 = -6x the inner terms are also x and -6 = -6x
the last terms are 6 and 6 = 36
adding all the four products =
x²-12x+36
Let, one leg be x units.
since the other leg is 9.0 units shorter than the other,
the measure of the other leg =x-9
hypotenuse =13.0 units
According to Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.
x^2 +(x-9)^2 =13^2
x^2 + x^2 -18x +81 = 169
2x^2-18x-88=0
Divide the whole equation by 2
x^2 - 9x -44 =0
Let's use the quadratic formula to find the roots.
formula: x= [-b ± sqrt(b^2-4*a*c)]/2*a
a=1 b=-9 c=-44
x= [9±sqrt(81+176)]/2
=[9±sqrt(257)]/2
=[9±16.03]/2
=25.03/2 or -7.03/2
length of a triangle cannot be negative,
Therefore, x=25.03/2 =12.52
one leg =12.5 units
other leg =12.52-9 =3.5 units
