Answer:

1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(10+2x)(14+2x) = 221

4x² + 48x - 81 = 0

4x² + 54x - 6x - 81 = 0

2x(2x + 27) - 3(2x + 27) = 0

(2x + 27)(2x - 3) = 0

x = -27/2, 3/2

x = 3/2 or 1½ or 1.5 inches

The measure of the supplement of an angle is 12 more than twice the measure of the angle. Find the measures of the angle and it'
astra-53 [7]
Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees-

Let x = "the angle"

supplement angle = 2x + 12 // 12 more than twice the measurement of "the angle"

Supplement angle + "the angle" = 180 degrees

(2x + 12) + x = 180 degrees // 2x + 12 is the supplement angle

3x + 12 = 180 //  Simplify

3x = 168 // Subtract 12 from both sides

x =  56 degrees // Divide both sides by 3

The measure of the angle is 56° and its supplement is 124°

Which exponential function has an initial value of 2?<br><br> f(x) = 2(3x)<br><br> f(x) = 3(2x)
Sidana [21]
<span>f(x) = 2(3x)
Exponential functions represent the initial value outside of the parentheses so if 2 is the initial value it has to be on the outside of the parentheses. 
Exponential growth formula.
</span>y=a(1+r)^{x}
<span>a represents the initial value.</span>
