Let x be the brick portion of the wall
Since x is 2/3 of the wall
Then x= (2/3)(2 3/4)
x= 11/6 = 1 5/6
So the brick portion of the wall is 1 5/6 feet
Note: that's not 15/6, it's a mixed fraction which is 1 + 5/6.. just to let you know
Answer:
I will try to answer this shortly it's tricky
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x + 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)² = x² + (2x - 1)(2x - 1)
(2x + 1)(2x + 1) = x² + 4x²-2x-2x+1
4x²+2x+2x+1 = 5x²-4x+1
4x²+4x+1 = 5x²-4x+1
0= 5x²-4x²-4x-4x+1-1
0= x²-8x
x²-8x=0
x²=8x
x=8
Substitute the values in the expression
b-a=3-2=1
answer b-a=1
