Okay, to find length CE, your going to know the value of <em>x</em>. Length BC + CE = BD + DE.
3x+47+x+26=27+x+10
Simplify the equation to get
4x+73=37+x
you can choose one of four ways to continue, but I will choose to subtract x
3x+73=37
Subtract 73 from both sides of the equal sign
3x=-36
divide by 3 on both sides of the equal sign to get the value of x
x=-12
Now, plug in -12 for x in length CE to get -12+26=14
Answer:
1 and -5
Step-by-step explanation:
![~~~~~x^3+3x^2-9x+5=0\\\\\implies x^3-x^2+4x^2-4x-5x+5=0\\\\\implies x^2(x-1)+4x(x-1)-5(x-1)=0\\\\\implies (x-1)(x^2 +4x -5) = 0\\\\\implies (x-1)(x^2+5x -x -5) = 0\\\\\implies (x-1)[x(x+5) -(x+5)] =0\\\\\implies (x-1)(x-1)(x+5)= 0\\\\\implies (x-1)^2(x+5) = 0\\\\\implies x = 1,~~ x = -5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=~~~~~x%5E3%2B3x%5E2-9x%2B5%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cimplies%20x%5E3-x%5E2%2B4x%5E2-4x-5x%2B5%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cimplies%20x%5E2%28x-1%29%2B4x%28x-1%29-5%28x-1%29%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cimplies%20%28x-1%29%28x%5E2%20%2B4x%20-5%29%20%3D%200%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cimplies%20%28x-1%29%28x%5E2%2B5x%20-x%20-5%29%20%3D%200%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cimplies%20%28x-1%29%5Bx%28x%2B5%29%20-%28x%2B5%29%5D%20%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cimplies%20%28x-1%29%28x-1%29%28x%2B5%29%3D%200%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cimplies%20%28x-1%29%5E2%28x%2B5%29%20%3D%200%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cimplies%20x%20%3D%201%2C~~%20x%20%3D%20-5)
Answer:
37.8 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
(2m + 7) - (3 - 4m)
First distribute the (-) in front of the quantity of 3 - 4m.
Think of it as this:
-1(3 - 4m)
You multiply each number inside the parenthesis by -1.
So:
3*-1 = -3
-4m * -1 = 4m
Now that you've distributed the negative you can remove the parenthesis.
Now you'll just set it all up like you would any normal problem. Because -3 is negative you'll make it subtract.... I'll show you what I mean:
2m + 7 - 3 + 4m
Combine like terms (Terms which have the same variables... in this case the same number of m's)
Rearranging them can help!
4m + 2m + 7 - 3
6m + 7 - 3
6m + 4, is our difference!
13 kids sandwiches X 4 inches = 52 inches
22 small sandwiches X 6 inches = 132 inches
17 medium sandwiches X 8 inches = 136 inches
17 large sandwiches X 12 inches = 204 inches
52+132+136+204= 524 inches = 43.66 feet = 43.7 feet
