If the number is x, then:
6x+1= (x-1)^2
Now we just need to simplify it
6x+1=(x-1)*(x-1)
6x+1=x^2-2x+1
8x=x^2
8=x
The number is 8.
To check the answer
6*8+1=7^2
49=49
correct :)
<span>lengths are in ratio 1:3
areas are in ratio
1 : 3</span>²<span> = 1: 9
area of ADG = 9 x 42 = 378 </span>
Franco:
3x+2y=19
Caryl:
2x+4y=24
now use elimination
-2(3x+2y=19)
1(2x+4y=24)
=
-6x-4y=-38
2x+4y=24
add them together
which equals -4x=-14
divide both sides by -4
-4x/-4=-14/-4
x=7/2
we found x, so we subsitute it into the the original equation
3x+2y=19
3(7/2)2y=19
2y+21/2=19
-21/2 -21/2
2y=17/2
divide by 2 on both sides
2y/2= 17/2/2
y=17/4
so x= 7/2 and y= 17/4
The GCF is 2
Pull out 2 from each number:
2(2n + 5)
Hope this helps!
