X = 5/6.

The square of 3x+1 is written as (3x+1)².  The square of x-2 is (x-2)².  Using the information given to us, we want to solve the equation

(3x+1)²=9(x-2)²
(3x+1)(3x+1)=9(x-2)(x-2)

Multiplying the first two binomials, we have:
3x*3x + 1*3x + 1*3x + 1*1 = 9(x-2)(x-2)
9x²+3x+3x+1 = 9(x-2)(x-2)
9x²+6x+1 = 9(x-2)(x-2)

Multiplying the second two binomials, we have:
9x²+6x+1 = 9(x*x-2*x-2*x-2(-2))
9x²+6x+1 = 9(x²-2x-2x+4)
9x²+6x+1 = 9(x²-4x+4)

Using the distributive property gives us
9x²+6x+1 = 9*x²-9*4x+9*4
9x²+6x+1 = 9x²-36x+36

Subtracting 9x² from both sides leaves us
6x+1 = -36x + 36

Adding 36x to both sides we get
42x+1 = 36

Subtracting 1 from both sides we have
42x = 35

Divide both sides by 42:
42x/42 = 35/42
x = 35/42 = 5/6

Find the values of x and y for the isosceles trapezoid
butalik [34]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • x = 15
  • y = 3
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

If the trapezoid is isosceles, angles A and C are supplementary, so ...

... (4x+4) +(7x+11) = 180

... 11x +15 = 180 . . . . . . collect terms

... 11x = 165 . . . . . . . . . subtract 15

... x = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

And angles C and E are congruent.

... 4·15 +4 = 21y +1

... 63 = 21y . . . . . subtract 1

... 3 = y . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of y

What is the area that she paints
Andre45 [30]
To determine this, we need to multiply 8 by 36 and 3 by 4 to get the total area.
8 x 36 = 288
3 x 4 = 12

Subtract the two to get the total area she is painting.
288-12 = 276
Your total area is 276 sq ft.
Your answer is D.)
I hope this helps!
