Point B is located between points A and C, AB= X^2-10, BC= 2X +2 and AC= 16 ,solve for X

1 answer:

7 0

Drawing a picture would be helpful.
So you have AB and BC, and AC is ALL of AB and BC. In other words,
AC = AB+BC.
Now plug in what the problem gave you.
(16) = (x^2 -10) + (2x + 2)
16 = x^2 + 2x - 8
0 = x^2 + 2x -24
0 = (x+6)(x-4)
x = -6, 4

Simplify by combining like terms on each side of the equation. State your new equation.

vladimir1956 [14]

6x + x + x - 5 - 2 = 8 + 2x + x

combine like terms

8x -7 = 8 +3x

subtract 3x from each side

5x -7 = 8

add 7 to each side

5x = 15

divide by 5

x=3

Answer: 8x -7 = 8 +3x

x=3

A landing pad for a helicopter is in the shape of a circle with a radius of 7 meters. Which of the following is closest to the a

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The approximate value of the area is $153.86\ m^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the circle (landing pad) is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$r=7\ m$

substitute

$A=\pi (7)^{2}$

$A=49\pi\ m^{2}$ ----> exact value of the area

Find the approximate value

assume $\pi=3.14$

$A=49(3.14)=153.86\ m^{2}$ ------> approximate value of the area

Which of these describes information that can appear in a consumer’s credit report?

ss7ja [257]

I believe the answer is D. A credit report covers info on loan paying history. I was stuck between b and d but then realized it said the company gave a loan while your own credit history covers what you have paid or loaned. Hope this helps, have a nice day.
