Answer:

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2 + 4p = 1

Take the coefficient of p

4

Divide by 2

4/2 =2

Square it

2^2 = 4

Add it to each side

p^2 + 4p+4 = 1+4

(p+2) ^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((p+2) ^2) =±sqrt( 5)

p+2 = ±sqrt( 5)

Subtract 2 from each side

p+2-2 = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

Mariana [72]

Answer:

If m<1 = 38 then m<4 = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of the angles equal 38 degrees. This is true because the angles are vertical, vertical angles are angles opposite each other where two lines cross. Vertical angles are also always congruent, therefore the m<4=38.

The length of a rectangle is 5 more than twice the width. the perimeter is 130. what is the area?
vekshin1
<span>L the length     W the width 

The length of a rectangle is 5 more than twice the width</span>
L = 5+ 2W

<span>the perimeter is equal the sum of sides =130
</span>
L+L+W+W =130

by subtitution we replace L by <span>L = 5+ 2W

</span>5+ 2W+<span>5+ 2W +W+W = 130
</span>
6W= 120

w= 20              <span>L = 5+ 2W= 5+ 40=45</span>
