Answer:

Sophie has 12.5 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> number of cards Sophie has

y -----> number of cards Jackie has

we know that

x+y=30 -----> equation A  

y=x+5 -----> equation B

Solve by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

x+(x+5)=30

2x=30-5

x=12.5 cards

Note I assume the problem was invented without taking into account the result, because the amount of cards should be a whole number

An equilateral ∆ has sides of length 16 cm. Find the length of an altitude.
inn [45]

The length of the altitude is 8\sqrt{3}

Explanation:

Let ABC be an equilateral triangle.

It has sides of length 16 cm

Let AD be the altitude of the triangle.

We need to determine the length of an altitude.

Let AC = 16 cm and CD = 8 cm

Let us consider the right angled triangle ADC

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have,

AC^2=AD^2+DC^2

Substituting the values, we get,

 16^2=AD^2+8^2

 256=AD^2+64

 192=AD^2

8\sqrt{3}=AD

The length of the altitude is 8\sqrt{3}

1. What is the extraneous solution of √x−3 + x = 9?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

1. x = 12

2. 3∛4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We are given the equation of x as \sqrt{x - 3} + x = 9 and we have to find the extraneous solution of the equation.

Now, \sqrt{x - 3} + x = 9 ............. (1)

⇒ \sqrt{x - 3} = 9 - x

Squaring both sides we get,

⇒ x - 3 = 81 - 18x + x²

⇒ x² - 19x + 84 = 0

⇒ x² - 12x - 7x + 84 = 0

⇒ (x - 12)(x - 7) = 0

⇒ x = 12 or 7.

Now, putting x = 12 in the equation (1) we get,

\sqrt{12 - 3} + 12 \neq   9

Again, putting x = 7 in the equation (1) we get,

\sqrt{7 - 3} + 7 = 9

Therefore, x = 12 is an extraneous solution of this equation. (Answer)

2. The volume of a cube with side lengths a ft. is given to be 108 ft³.

So, a³ = 108

⇒ a = 3∛4 feet.

Therefore, the length of the sides of the cube are each 3∛4 feet. (Answer)
