Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
12x-14=4x+10
Subtract 4x from each side
12x-4x-14=4x-4x+10
8x - 14 = 10
Add 14 to each side
8x - 14+14 = 10+14
8x = 24
Divide each side by 8
8x/8 = 24/8
x = 3
162 / 2 = 81
the answer is D
Quadratic formula is x = -b+ or- sq rt b^2-4ac / 2a
a=2 b=5 c=-3
-5 +or- sqrt 5^2-4(2)(-3) / 2(2)
-5 +or- sqrt 49/ 4
-5 + 7 /4 = 2/4 = 1/2
-5 - 7 /4 = -12/4 = -3
Factoring a*c is 2*-3 =-6
Factors of -6 that add to 5 are 6 and -1
Split 5x into +6x-1x
2x^2+6x-1x-3 and group
2x(x+3)-1(x+3)
(x+3)(2x-1)=0
x+3=0 gives x=-3
2x-1=0 gives x=1/2
Yes. An easy way to solve -83+24 is to do 83-24
That equals 59
Your answer is -59
Answer:
18ft wide and 33 ft long
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question that:
Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 20 ft wide and 35 ft long.
The Area of the carpeting she must have = 594 ft²
To solve for this, we have:
Length × Width = Area of a rectangle
594ft² = Length × Width
594ft² = (20 - x) (35 - x)
594 = 700 - 20x - 35x + x²
594 = 700 - 55x + x²
Collect like terms
x² - 55x + 700 - 594
x² - 55x + 106
We factorise
x² - 2x - 53x + 106
(x² - 2x) -(53x + 106)
x(x - 2) -53(x - 2)
(x - 2)(x - 53)
x - 2 = 0, x = 2
x - 53 = 0, x = 53
We choose the least value for x
Hence, x = 2
Length = 20 - 2 = 18ft
Width = 35 - 2 = 33ft
The dimensions the rug should have is 18ft by 33ft, meaning 18ft wide and 33 ft long
