One side of the rectangle is x=2, the other side is 2x-5
Add up all the four sides: (x+2) +(x+2)+(2x-5)+(2x-5)=54
6x-6=54
x=10
#3: suppose the first integer is x, then the second one is x+2
x(x+2)=255
x^2 +2x -255 =0
factor the quadratic equation: (x+17)(x-15)=0
x=-17, which is impossible, or x=15
so the two positive integers are 15 and 17
0,-2
I don’t really have an explanation
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
m^2 + 11m - 11, which is the first choice
Discussion:
6m + (m-2)(m+7) +3 =
6m + (m^2 + 7m - 2m -14) + 3 =
(6m + 7m - 2m) + m^2 + (-14 + 3) = combine similar terms
11m + m^2 -11 =
m^2 + 11m - 11
which is the first choice
Thank you,
MrB
One piece of paper is 44 and the other is 33
she can cut each strip where it is 11 inches in width
40\8
5\1
