Answer:

8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

here's your solution

=> let the length of rectangle be X

=> then width = x - 7

=> area = 8units

=>> area = length*width

=> area = x (x-7) = 8

=> x^2 - 7 = 8

=> now, x^2 - 7x - 8 = 0

=> factories the above equation by middle term split

=> x^2 - 7x - 8

=> x^2 - 8x + x - 8

=> take the common

=> x(x - 8) + 1(x - 8)

=> (x + 1) (x - 8)

neglect (x + 1) because this will in negative for X

=> x - 8 = 0

=> x = 8

=>so, x = 8

=>length = 8 units

Answer:

[2(x+10)]°+(3x-30)°=180°[vertically opposite angle]

2x+20+3x-30=180°

5x-10=180°

5x=180-10

5x=170

x=170/5

x=34

2(5x - 3) - 4 = x + 4 solve for x and show work

Katen [24]

Answer:

x= 14/9 = 1 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 5x−3.

2(5x−3)−4=x+4

Subtract 4 from −6 to get −10.

10x−6−4=x+4

Subtract x from both sides

10x−10=x+4

Combine 10x and −x to get 9x.

10x−10−x=4

Add 10 to both sides.

9x−10=4

Divide both sides by 9.

x= 14/9

Given:

Length of box = 15 in

Width of box = 30 in

Height of box = 24 in

Find:

Surface area

Computation:

Surface area = 2h[l+b]

Surface area = 2(24)[30 + 15]

Surface area = 48 x 45

Surface area = 2,160 in²

Hello, how can I do this exercise the help is appreciated

Semenov [28]

Answer:

5, 8, 11, 14, 17,....

f(n) = 5+3n where n is the number of steps after the first two. 7 steps is 20 faces.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is a list of numbers that are related. The first number in the sequence is 5 since the first part of the stairs has 5 faces (5 squares, the dark don't count). Every time you add a "stair" you add 2 blocks - one underneath to support and one as the step. This adds 3 faces. So 5 becomes 8. Repeat and 8 becomes 11. You add 3 faces each time. So the sequence is

5, 8, 11, 14, 17,....

This is a constant pattern of adding 3 each time after the initial start. So we can write a rule. We start with 5 + 3(each stair step). So if the cube is 7 stairs high, that is 5 more repetitions of adding blocks after the start (remember the start has 2 steps already). So 5 + 3(5) = 20. 7 steps high will have 20 faces.
