The diagonal of a rectangle = sqrt(w^2 + l^2)
w = width
l = length
In this problem,
The diagonal = 20 in
w = x
l = 2x + 8
Let's plug our numbers into the formula above.
20in = sqrt((x)^2 + (2x + 8)^2)
Let's simplify the inside of the sqrt
20 in = sqrt(5x^2 + 32x + 64)
Now, let's square both sides.
400 = 5x^2 + 32x + 64
Subtract 400 from both sides.
0 = 5x^2 + 32x - 336
Factor
0 = (5x - 28)(x + 12)
Set both terms equal to zero and solve.
x + 12 = 0
Subtract 12 from both sides.
x = -12
5x - 28 = 0
Add 28 to both sides.
5x = 28
Divide both sides by 5
x = 28/5
The width cant be a negative number so now we know that the only real solution is 28/5
Let's plug 28/5 into our length equation.
Length = 2(28/5) + 8 = 56/5 + 8 = 96/5
In conclusion,
Length = 96/5 inches
Width = 28/5
Answer: The answer is F.
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) The first equation represents how the spiral notebook has 30 more pages than the the memo book, and how subtracting the memo book's pages would result with 30.
2.) The second equation represents how the total number of pages in 3 spiral notebooks plus 5 memo books would result in 810 total pages.
Answer:
7x-4 = -28
4y+8 = 4(y + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
A negative exponent just means that the base is on the wrong side of the fraction line, so you need to flip the base to the other side.
