Answer:
b = (T - a - c - d) / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let T be the total number of points required to advance.
a, c and d are points scored in the local matches, and b is the number of points scored in the district match. If b is worth 3 times as much as the other matches, the total number of points is given by:
Isolate b in order to find out how many points they need in the district match:
They need to score (T - a - c - d)/3, in the district match in order to win.
x = 10.22 in
Solution:
Width of the figure = x in
Length of the figure = (2x + 5) in
Area of the figure = 260 in²
<u>To find the value of x:</u>
<em>Area of the figure = length × width</em>
length × width = 260
(2x + 5) × x = 260
Subtract 260 from both sides of the equation.
Factor the above quadratic expression.
Quadratic equation formula:
x = 10.22, x = –12.72006
Dimension of the figure cannot be measured in negative terms.
Hence x = 10.22 in.
