The area of the triangle could be determined by multiplying the length and the width. Since, we are given the area and the length, to find the width, you divide the area by the length:
w = A ÷ l
w = (x2 - 2x - 15) ÷ (x+3)
What do you have to multiply to (x+3) to yield x2 - 2x - 15? That would be x - 5. Since the sum of -5 and 3 = -2 (middle term) and the their product is -15 (last term).
Hence, the width is (x-5).
You sure seem to be asking a lot of questions lately. I'd like to see that you've been trying with these problems at least because if you can't get that first one it's almost like you missed the whole lesson.
1. 20 = 4b + 7 + 5
Add the 7 and 5.
20 = 4b + 12
Subtract 12 from each side.
8 = 4b
Divide each side by 4.
2 = b
2. 7 = 6k - 7k
6k - 7k = -1k. (the k acts as a sort of unit)
7 = -1k
Divide each side by -1.
-7 = k
3. 3.23 - 2m = 3 - 2(5m - 2)
Distribute the ×-2 to each term inside the parentheses.
3.23 - 2m = 3 - 10m + 4
Add the 3 and 4.
3.23 - 2m = 7 - 10m
Add 10m to each side.
3.23 + 8m = 7
Subtract 3.23 from each side.
8m = 3.77
Divide by 8.
m = 0.47125
4. -88/45=1/3r+2/5r
To get rid of the fractions, let's multiply everything by 45.
-88 = 15 + 18r
Subtract 15 from each side.
-103 = 18r
Divide by 18.
-103/18 = r
As a mixed number, r = -5 and 13/18
As a decimal, r = -5.7222...
Answer: 100+1.28(1/2)=100.64
Step-by-step explanation:
A random sample of size 16 is to be taken from a normal population having mean 100 and variance 4. ... The 90th percentile of the normal curve, according to the table I was provided, was equal to 1.28 standard units above the mean.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If 
then
by combining like terms. (I'm thinking you might have mistyped the problem because this representation is weird).
