Answer:
The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown".
Step-by-step explanation:
In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try:)
Answer:
2np + p²
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for the area of a square is A = s², where s = the length of one side of the square. In the case of the smaller square the area would be: n x n = n². Since the side of the larger square is 'p' inches longer, the length of one side is 'n + p'. To find the area of the larger square, we have to take the length x length or (n +p)².
Using FOIL (forward, outside, inside, last):
(n + p)(n+p) = n² + 2np + p²
Since the area of the first triangle is n², we can subtract this amount from the area of the larger square to find out how many square inches greater the larger square area is.
n² + 2np + p² - n² = 2np + p²
Answer:
I believe it is 2s
Step-by-step explanation:
a variable is a symbol which functions as a placeholder, so in this case, the placeholder is "s"
Answer:
X=2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
8x-4=12x+6+x
8x-4=13x+6
8x-13x=+6-4
-5x=-2
x=-2/-5
x=2/5
