So.. hmm notice the picture here

we know the length is 59 more than twice the width,
twice the width, 2 * w, or 2w
59 more than that
2w + 59

we also know that, whatever that is, the diagonal of it is,
2 more inches than that, or
(2w + 59) + 2

now.. use the pythagorean theorem
\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \qquad 
\begin{cases}
a=2w+59\\
b=w\\
c=(2w+59)+2\to 2w+61
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(2w+61)^2=(2w+59)^2+(w)^2
\\  \qquad\qquad \uparrow\qquad \qquad\qquad \qquad \uparrow  \\
\textit{expand using binomial theorem, or FOIL}

you'd end up with a quadratic, after simplifying, solve for "w"

marshall27 [118]

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒12)It is an arithmetic sequence.

   d=2-1=3-2=4-3=1

    a(n) = a +(n-1)d

    a(n) = 1+(n-1)1

The next three terms:

a(6) = 1+(6-1)1=6

a(7) = 1+(7-1)1=7

a(8) = 1+(8-1)1=8

⇒13)It is an arithmetic sequence.

   d=0-3=-3-0=-6+3=-3

    a(n) = a +(n-1)d

    a(n) = 3+(n-1)-3

The next three terms:

a(5) = 3+(5-1)-3=-9

a(6) = 3+(6-1)-3=-12

a(7) = 3+(7-1)-3=-15

⇒14)It is <u>not </u>an arithmetic sequence.

⇒15) a(50) = 10 +(50-1)5

                  =<u>255</u>

<u>I hope this helps</u>

Solve x = 0.6x + 384
Gelneren [198K]
X = 0.6x + 384        |subtract 0.6x from both sides

0.4x = 384    |divide both sides by 0.4

x = 960
