8x^2+6x^2+4x=138 combine like terms on left side
14x^2+4x=138 since the number of seats in the from row is just 4x, subtract 14x^2 from both sides
4x=138-14x^2 that would be the general solution, if you wanted the actual number you would have to solve for x and then multiply that value by 4 to know what "4x" is...
14x^2+4x-138=0
14x^2-42x+46x-138=0
14x(x-3)+46(x-3)=0
(14x+46)(x-3)=0
2(7x+23)(x-3)=0, since x>0
x=3 and thus
4x=12 seats
So there are 12 seats in the front row addition.
Answer:
The lower score is -12, and he wins buy (12 -9) , or 3 points
It would be 20 so you had it right
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
I would use the Pythagorean theorem to solve distances between 2 points, and this case is no exception.
We need to find the positive difference in their x coordinates and y coordinates.
The difference in x coordinates: 7
The difference in y coordinates: 8
Now we can use the Pythagorean theorem:
7^2+8^2 = x^2
49+64 = x^2
113 = x^2
x = sqrt(113)
Therefore, the answer is B.
