Answer:

28 stone bricks are necessary for this footpath.

Step-by-step explanation:

lets start by remembering that 1m has 100cm, therefore 1m = 100cm.

That being said we transform everything to centimeters since the stones are in centimeters.

16 m + 80 cm = 16 × (100 cm) + 80 cm

1600 + 80 = 1680 cm.

If every stone is 60 cm long, we need to divide our footpath length by the stone length to know how many stones are needed, therefore:

1680 cm / 60 cm = 28 bricks!!

I hope it helps :)

Write an equation in standard form for a line that passes through (2,2) and (0, -3).

Alecsey [184]

First find the slope:
(-3-2)/(0-2)=-5/-2=5/2

So then y=5/2x+b

When x=0, then the y-coordinate with that is the y-intercept.

So the answer is y=5/2x-3.

Find all solutions to the equation. -\dfrac{2}{x(x+2)}=\dfrac{x+3}{x+2}− x(x+2) 2 = x+2 x+3 minus, start fraction, 2, divide

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

$x=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $\frac{-2}{x(x+2)}=\frac{x+3}{x+2}$ . We are asked to find the solutions of our given equation.

First of all, we will cross multiply our given equation as:

$-2(x+2)=x(x+2)(x+3)$

Subtract $x(x+2)(x+3)$ from both sides:

$-2(x+2)-x(x+2)(x+3)=x(x+2)(x+3)-x(x+2)(x+3)$

$-2(x+2)-x(x+2)(x+3)=0$

Now we will factor out $(x+2)$ .

$(x+2)(-2-x(x+3))=0$

$(x+2)(-2-x^2-3x)=0$

$(x+2)(-(x^2+3x+2))=0$

Now we will factor by splitting the middle term.

$-(x+2)(x^2+2x+x+2)=0$

$-(x+2)(x+2)(x+1)=0$

$-(x+2)^2(x+1)=0$

Now we will use zero product property and solve for x as:

$-(x+2)^2=0,(x+1)=0$

$(x+2)=0,(x+1)=0$

$x=-2,x=-1$

Now, we will check for extraneous solutions.

We can see that $x=-2$ will make both denominators zero because our function is not defined at $x=-2$ .

Therefore, the solution for our given equation is $x=-1$ .

Cos(a+b)cosb+ sin(a+b)sinb= cosa

Leviafan [203]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos \: (a + b) \: cos \: b + \sin \: (a + b) \: sin \: b \\ = \cos \: a \\ LHS \\ = \cos \: (a + b) \: cos \: b + \sin \: (a + b) \: sin \: b \\ = \cos \{(a + b) - b \} \\ = \cos (a + b- b ) \\ = \cos \: a \\ = RHS \\ \\ formula \: used \\ \cos \:a \: cos \: b + \sin \: a \: sin \: b = \cos(a - b)$
