Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

4a+2b= 86 cm

a²+b²= 386 cm²

a+b=?

----------

  • 4a+2b= 86  
  • 2a+b= 43
  • (2a+b)²=43²
  • 4a²+4ab+b²=1849

b²= 386- a², b= 43- 2a

  • 4a²+4a(43-2a)+386-a²-1849=0
  • 4a²+172a-8a²-a²-1463=0
  • -5a²+172a-1463=0
  • 5a²-172a+1463=0

solving quadratic equation we get

a=19 - integer solution

b= 43-2*19= 5

a+b=19+5=24

Does anyone know the answer to this?

Hey there!


First, let's find s:

s = (5 + 6 + 7) /2 = 9


Second, let's plug in the numbers into the formula:

A = \sqrt{9(9-7)(9-5)(9-6)}


Third, let's simplify the numbers to get one number under the square root:

A = [tex]\sqrt{216}


Fourth, we'll find the square root of 216 to get the area:

A = 14.697


Therefore, your answer is A.


Hope this helps!! :)

Jim wishes to buy 3 gifts that cost 15 dollars, 9 dollars, and 12 dollars. he has 1/4 of the money he needs, how much more money
Archy [21]
In order to solve this, you have to plug in all of the costs of the gifts and add them, which in all equals $36. since jim only has 1/4 of the money he needs to buy the gifts, you need to divide 36 by 4. this gives you 9, so now you know he has 9 dollars.
and to find out how much more money he needs, you can subtract 9 from 36 which represents a fourth of the required money. the answer is 27, that's how much jim needs in order to buy his gifts.
