x^2+4x-4=8

Subtract 8 from both sides: x^2+4x-4-8=8-8

Simplify: x^2+4x-12=0

Solve with the quadratic formula: For a=1,b=4,c=-12: x1,2= -4+- (4^2-4*1(-12))sqrt over 2*1

x= 2 and x=-6

Subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation gives

x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0

(x + 6)(x - 2)= 0

x = -6, 2   answer

Suri's age is 4 less than 3 times her cousin's age. Suri is 17 years old. Which method can be used to find c, her cousin's age?
Mila [183]

Answer:

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Suri's age=17 years

Her cousin's age =c

Suri's age is 4 less than 3 times her cousin's age

4 less than 3 times her cousin's age means subtract 4 from 3 times her cousin's age

17=3c - 4

Find c which is her cousin's age

Add 4 to both sides

17+4=3c - 4 + 4

17+4=3c

21=3c

Divide both sides by 3

21/3=3c/3

7=c

Therefore,

C= 7

Her cousin's age = 7 years

The surface area of the cube is 54 square feet. What is the length, in feet, of one edge of the cube?​
Brut [27]

Answer:

3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube is made of 6 equal faces each of which is a square with the same side length. The surface area of the cube is the surface area of one side multiplied by 6. We know the surface area is 54 so divide this by 6.

54/6 = 9 ft^2

Since the surface must be a square, take the square root of 9 which is 3 ft. The length of one edge of the cube is 3 ft.

Can someone plz help me
Illusion [34]
First rectangle:
Has 3 cubes in each 5 layers, and imagine it, so we have all dimension needed which is:
l=3 unit
w=1 unit
h=5 unit.
V=l×w×h
V=3×1×5
V=15 cubic inches.

Second rectangular:
Doing the same like that to get:
l=5 unit
w=1 unit
h=3 unit
V=15 cubic inches. As a result, there are no prism that are greater to each other, which mean that they have the same volume of 15 cubic inches. Hope it help!
