Answer:

The number of counties in state A are 70.

The number of counties in state B are 68.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of counties in state A and the number of counties in state B are consecutive even integers whose sum is 138.

Let the two consecutive even integers be x and x+2.

As their sum is 138, we can denote this mathematically as :

x+x+2=138

=> 2x+2=138

=> 2x=138-2

=> 2x=136

Now, we get x = 68

And x+2=68+2 = 70

Hence, the two numbers are 68 and 70.

So, the number of counties in state A are 70.

The number of counties in state B are 68.

What is the value of the expression?<br> -16+ 12 <br>(A)-28 <br>(B)-4 <br>(C)4 <br>(D)28 ​
Elden [556K]

Answer:

-16+12= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

When we mins 12 from 16 (16-12) we get 4.

Similarly. When we minus 16 from 12 (12-16) we get -4 because we choose the sign with the greater number.

Grade 12<br>mathematics<br>(√98-√50)² ​
allsm [11]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Two different approaches:

<u>Method 1</u>

Apply radical rule √(ab) = √a√b to simplify the radicals:

√98 = √(49 x 2) = √49√2 = 7√2

√50 = √(25 x 2) = √25√2 = 5√2

Therefore,  (√98 - √50)² = (7√2 - 5√2)²

                                         = (2√2)²

                                         = 4 x 2

                                         = 8

<u>Method 2</u>

Use the perfect square formula: (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²

where a = √98   and   b = √50

So            (√98 - √50)² = (√98)² - 2√98√50 + (√50)²

                                      = 98 - 2√98√50 + 50

                                      = 148 - 2√98√50

Apply radical rule √(ab) = √a√b to simplify radicals:

√98 = √(49 x 2) = √49√2 = 7√2

√50 = √(25 x 2) = √25√2 = 5√2

Therefore,     148 - 2√98√50 = 148 - (2 × 7√2 × 5√2)

                                                 = 148 - 140

                                                 = 8

Briana drew a rectangle with a width 5 inches shorter than its length. She measured the perimeter of the rectangle and found it
Zigmanuir [339]
P = 2(L + W)
P = 14
W = L - 5

14 = 2(L + L - 5)
14 = 2(2L - 5)
14 = 4L - 10
14 + 10 = 4L
24 = 4L
24/4 = L
6 = L.......the length is 6 inches

W = L - 5
W = 6 - 5
W = 1 <=== the width is 1 inch
