Answer: 6x-3

Step-by-step explanation: Say that the third side is y. The equation for the perimiter is side 1+ side 2+ side 3= perimeter which if you intput what we have turns out like (10x+2) +(8x-1)+y=24x-2. If you add 10x+2 and 8x-1 you get 18x+1. We can update the previous equation making it (18x+1)+y=24x-2. Since your trying to find y, you isloate it by subtracting (18x+1) from both sides. This leaves us with y=6x-3 as the length of thr missing side.

Alex has a price of fabric that is 56 inches long and 3 inches wide. He cuts it into pieces that are each 7 inches long and 1 in
devlian [24]
Each is 7 long and the whole piece is 56 so we can make 8 down the length and each is 1 wide and the whole things is 3 so that makes 3 across. we multiply these to get 8*3= 24

Answer:

Before Tax: $240

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are trying to find the original price then here:

216/1.08 = 200

This took away the tax now we need to take away the discount:

200 x 1.2 = 240

Before Tax: $240

What are the solutions of the equation x4+6x^2+5=0? Use substitution to solve
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

+ or - square root of 5, and + or - i

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2 + 5)(x^2 + 1)= 0

Set each set of parentheses equal to zero:

x^2 + 5 = 0; x^2 = -5, so x will equal plus or minus i times the square root of 5.

X^2 +1 = 0; x^2 = -1, so x will equal plus or minus i times the square root of one, which is just i
