Answer:

AB = 4.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = sum of areas of two rectangles

36 = [x(x - 4)] + [(x - 2)(2x + x)]

36 = x² - 4x + 3x² - 6x

4x² - 10x - 36 = 0

Dividing by 2:

2x² - 5x - 18 = 0

2x² - 9x + 4x - 18 = 0

x(2x - 9) + 2(2x - 9) = 0

(2x - 9)(x + 2) = 0

x = -2, 9/2

AB = x = 4½ cm

Answer:

AB = 9/2 cm

AB = 4.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of small rectangle

x * (x-4) = x^2 -4x

The area of  the big rectangle

The height is 2x +x  and the width is x-2

(2x+x) * (x-2)

(3x) * (x-2)

3x^2 -6x

Add the areas together

x^2 -4x + 3x^2 -6x

4x^2 -10x

This is equal to 36

4x^2 -10x=36

Subtract 36 from each side

4x^2 -10x -36=36-36

4x^2 -10x-36=0

Divide each side by 2

2x^2 -5x -18=0

Factor

(x + 2) (2 x - 9) = 0

Using the zero product property

x+2=0  2x-9=0

x = -2   2x =9

x = -2   x = 9/2

Since we cant have a negative length

x = 9/2

AB = 9/2 cm

consider this expression 7+3.4+2 what movements does this represent for Cecil walking on his tightrope? draw a diagram to show h
Lina20 [59]

Ok let me start it from here.

you are studying about properties of natural numbers or whole number or may be integers.

So , In this  Question you have to follow property of addition of integers.

⇒7+3=( You are at the point 7 on the number line or on the tight rope , you are moving (+3) on the right direction.) So you will reach at 7+1+1+1=10

⇒4+2=( You are at the point 4 on the number line or on the tight rope , you are moving (+2) on the right direction.) So you will reach at 4+1+1=6

In first case Cecil has taken total walk of 10 units and in second case Cecil has taken a walk of 10 units.

I don't know how to do question 12(b)
Virty [35]
Amy: x skirts Betty: 2x skirts Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation: [(2x) + 7] - 18 = x +18 +18 (2x) + 7 = x + 18 - 7 -7 2x = x + 11 -x -x x = 11 Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check. Amy: 11 Betty: 2(x) 2(11) =22 Carol: (2x) + 7 22 + 7 =29 Does Amy have 18 less than Carol? Carol - Amy = 18 29 - 11 = 18 18 = 18 the problem is solved

Line one has the equation 7x - 4y = - 28 and line two
Pie

7x - 4y = -28

3x +4y = -12

Using the elimination method because y is already eliminated

10x = -40

So x = -4

Then plug the -4 into the first equation....

7(-4) - 4y = -28

-28 - 4y = -28

-4y = 0

y = 0

I got:  -4,0
