Solve the following quadratic equation for all values of x in simplest form. 20+ 2x= 28

n200080 [17]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate x.

Start by moving the 20 to the other side by subtracting it from both sides.

2x = 8

Since x is being multiplied by 2, we need to divide both sides by 2 to move it to the other side.

x = 4

A meter stick casts a shadow 2.4 m long at the same time a flagpole casts a shadow 9.7 m long. How tall is the flagpole

Luda [366]

The first thing we are going to do is draw a diagram of the situation to help us to solve the situation.
We an draw tow similar triangle between the length of the shadows and the height of the stick and the pole.
Since meter stick has a length of 1 meter, the height of our smaller triangle is 1 meter. Let $h$ be height of of the pole. Since both triangles are similiar we can establish a proportion between their corresponding sides and solve for $h$ :
$\frac{h}{1} = \frac{9.7}{2.4}$
$h=\frac{9.7}{2.4}$
$h=4.04$

We can conclude that the pole is 4.04 meters tall.

Whats 1 and 2/3 + 1 and 5/6

Dima020 [189]

1 2/3 + 1 5/6

We’ll start by converting the 2/3 to 6ths so we have a common denominator.

Look at the denominator first. 3 x 2 is 6, so we need to multiply the numerator by 2 as well. 2/3 = 4/6.

So we have 1 4/6 + 1 5/6 = 2 9/6
But you know they’ll want you to reduce that so it’s 3 3/6...or 3 1/2.

Let me know where you have questions.
