Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In $\triangle BAC, \: DE || AC$

Hence, by basic proportionality theorem:

$\frac{x + 2}{x} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \: 2(x + 2) = 3x \\ \therefore \:2x + 4 = 3x \\ \therefore \:4 = 3x - 2x \\ \therefore \:4 = x \\ \huge \red { \boxed{\therefore \:x = 4}}$

6. A rectangle has a perimeter of 62 feet. If its length is 9 feet longer than its width, find

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

length = 20 ft, width = 11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let w be width, then length = w + 9

The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal , then

2w + 2(w + 9) = 62

2w + 2w + 18 = 62

4w + 18 = 62 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

4w = 44 ( divide both sides by 4 )

w = 11

and w + 9 = 11 + 9 = 20

then width = 11 ft and length = 20 ft

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

The first three steps of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation x2 +4x -6= 0, are shown below.

Step 1: x2 +4x= 6

Step 2: x2 +4x+4=6+4

Step 3: (x +2)^2=10

What are the next 3 steps?

we have

step 4

Take square root both sides

$\sqrt{(x+2)^2} =\sqrt{10}$

step 5

Simplify

$x+2=\pm\sqrt{10}$

step 6

Solve for x

subtract 2 both sides

$x=-2\pm\sqrt{10}$

$x_1=-2+\sqrt{10}$

$x_2=-2-\sqrt{10}$
