Use completing the aquare to solve for x in the equation (x+7)(x-9)=25​

Mathematics

Tema [17]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x = 1 - sqrt(89)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(x - 9) (x + 7) = 25

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

x^2 - 2 x - 63 = 25

Add 63 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x = 88

Add 1 to both sides:

x^2 - 2 x + 1 = 89

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 1)^2 = 89

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 1 = sqrt(89) or x - 1 = -sqrt(89)

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x - 1 = -sqrt(89)

Add 1 to both sides:

Answer: x = 1 + sqrt(89) or x = 1 - sqrt(89)

Answer:

78 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, a foot is equal to 12 inches. That is modeled by the equation you wrote, y = 12x, where x is the amount of feet.

Substitute 6.5 for x. y = 12*6.5 = 78 inches.

ANSWER FAST PLEASE!!!! 
zheka24 [161]

The area of the given trapezoid will be the sum of the areas of the triangular part and the rectangular part.

Now, the area of the rectangle, A_1 is:

A_1=length \times width=2\times 1.5=3 squared yards

Likewise, the area, A_2 of the triangle will be:

A_2=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height=\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times 1.5=3.75 yd^2

Thus, the area of the trapezoid=A_1+A_2=3+3.75=6.75 yd^2

Thus the first option is the correct option.

17. According to the Associative Property, which expression is equal to (12)(7)(6x)?
Dvinal [7]

(12)(7)(6x)=504x

(12 * 7 * 6)(x)=504x

(7)(12)(6) + x=504+x

12(7 + 6x)=84+72x

12 + 7 + 6x=19+x

wee see that

A*B=(A)(B)
