8x^2 -3 = 2
add 3 to each side
8x^2 = 5
divide by 8
x^2 =5/8
take the square root of each side
x = +- sqrt (5/8)
Answer:
228mm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A. -34.5>x
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is shaded below -34.5, so we know that x has to be less
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What is y?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sides be a, b and c.
<h3>Given</h3>
The length of one side of a triangle is 2 feet less than three times the length of its second side
The length of the third side is 3/4 of the sum of the lengths of the first two sides:
The perimeter of the triangle is 17.5 feet:
<h3>Solution</h3>
Substitute a with b in the second equation:
- c = (3/4)(3b - 2 + b) = (3/4)(4b - 2) = (3/4)(4b) - (3/4)(2) = 3b - 1.5
Now substitute a and c with b in the third equation and solve for b:
- 3b - 2 + b + 3b - 1.5 = 17.5
- 7b - 3.5 = 17.5
- 7b = 17.5 + 3.5
- 7b = 21
- b = 3
Find the value of a:
- a = 3b - 2 = 3*3 - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7
Find the value of c:
- c = 3b - 1.5 = 3*3 - 1.5 = 9 - 1.5 = 7.5
The sides of the triangle are:
- a = 7 feet, b = 3 feet, c = 7.5 feet
