Answer:
He can cut 6 sections this length.
Step-by-step explanation:
he has
7(12) = 84 inches of rope.
84-34.5 = 49.5
49.5/8.25 = 6
Answer:
x =12
Step-by-step explanation:
we have:
-2(4-x)-5=11
apply distributive property:
-2*4 +2*x -5=11
we have:
-8 +2x -5 =11
2x -13 =11
2x = 11+13
2x= 24
x = 24/2
finally we have the x value:
x =12
So for this function we will be using the quadratic formula, which is 
, to solve. a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient, and c = constant. Using our equation, we can solve for the zeros (x-intercepts) as such:
In short, your x-intercepts (rounded to the hundredths) are (1.92,0) and (-3.92,0).
Square both sides
9(x + 2) = x + 4
Expand
9x + 18 = x + 4
Subtract x from both sides
9x + 18 - x = 4
Simplify 9x + 18 - x to 8x + 18
8x + 18 = 4
Subtract 18 from both sides
8x = 4 - 18
Simplify 4 - 18 to -14
8x = -14
Divide both sides by 8
x = -14/8
Simplify 14/8 to 7/4
<u>C. x = -7/4</u>
