We have that
x²<span> + 3x = 24
</span><span>Group terms that contain the same variable
</span>(x² + 3x) = 24
<span>Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
</span>(x² + 3x+2.25) = 24+2.25

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+1.5)² = 26.25
(+/-)[x+1.5]=5.12
(+)[x+1.5]=5.12----> x=5.12-1.5--->  x=3.62
(-)[x+1.5]=5.12-----> x=-1.5-5.12---> x=-6.62

the answer is
<span>3.62, –6.62</span>

Give the appropriate theorem or postulate that can
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<ACB = <ECD    

These 2 angles are vertically opposite and are equal.

<B = <D

They are both right angles are therefore equal.

The answer is the AA postulate.

A

Note

ASA is a congruence postualate. If S is between two angles that can be shown to be corresponding and equal, then you will have 2 congruent triangles.

SSS if three sides of 1 triangle = 3 sides of a second triangle, then the 2 triangles are congruent. If the the three sides of one triangle are in a ratio with 3 sides of the other triangle, then the triangles could be similar, but that is not the case here.

SAS this is the terminology for congruence as well. We don't know enough to use it for similarity. Some sort of ratio would have to be mentioned to do that.

You are intended to use AA as your answer.

The diagram shows corresponding lengths in two similar figures. Find the area of the smaller figure.
butalik [34]

The area are in the ratio of the squares of corresponding sides.

That is  15^2 : 20^2  = 225:400

so the area of the smaller figure = (225/400) * 64

= 0.5625 * 64

= 36 cm^2  (answer)
