The dimensions of a square are altered so that one dimension is increased by 7 feet and the other is decreased by 2 feet. The ar

I got 64 square feet.

My work is shown in the image.

For possible questions:

1: you can find x+7 and x-2 because the sides of the square can be measured as x, and x+7 means 7 more than the original; x-2 means 2 less than the original.

2: solved via factoring. Not sure if you've learned it or not.

3: reject the negative numbers because you can't have negative sides in a square.

Answer:

  • width: 4 ft
  • length: 13 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the rectangle. Then the length is 3w+1 and the area is ...

  w(3w+1) = 52

  3w²  +w -52 = 0

To factor this equation, we need factors of 3·52 = 156 that have a difference of 1. These values are 12 and 13, so we can rewrite the equation as ...

  3w² +13w -12w -52 = 0

  w(3w +13) -4(3w +13) = 0

  (w -4)(3w +13) = 0

The positive value of w that makes a factor zero is ...

  w = 4

Then the length is 3w+1 = 3(4) +1 = 13.

The length is 13 ft; the width is 4 ft.

If f(x)=2x^2-5 and g(x)=x^2-4x-8, find (f-g)(x)
Marianna [84]
 (f-g)(x) is equivalent to f(x) - g(x)

So that would be (2x²-5) - (x²-4x-8) = 2x² - x² + 4x + 8 - 5 = x² + 4x + 3

Hope this helps.

Explain how you could convert 3/4 ton to ounces
krek1111 [17]
Well knowing a ton is 2000lbs and 3/4 of that is 1500lbs, you would just need to multiply 1500 by gow many ounces are in a pound, which happens to be 16.
16 × 1500 = 24,000 ounces

What is the solution set to the equation<br> 15 – 4x = x2 - 6x ? Show your work algebraically.
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The solution of given expression = 5 , -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression;

15 - 4x = x² - 6x

Find:

The solution of given expression

Computation:

15 - 4x = x² - 6x

x² - 6x + 4x - 15 = 0

x² - 2x - 15 = 0

x² - (5 - 3)x - 15 = 0

x² - 5x + 3x - 15 = 0

x(x - 5) + 3(x - 5) = 0

(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0

So,

x - 5 = 0 and x + 3 = 0

x = 5 and x = -3

The solution of given expression = 5 , -3

HELP ME WITH MATH PLEASE!!! thank you

Brand X:  median value is 13.  Look carefully at the diagram so that you can spot and understand where that value comes from.
Brand Y;  median value is 16.

We can conclude that the life of Brand Y batteries is always greater than that for Brand X, and that the medians differ by 3 hours.
