Using factorization method;
x²+13x+40=0
x²+13+40
Find two numbers that you can add together to give the co-efficient of variable x. (I.e 13 for this question). Also, you'll find two numbers that you can multiply with each other to give you the whole number as an answer. (I.e 40 in this question). The two numbers must be the same (i.e the two numbers that will be added to give the co-efficient of x and the two numbers that will be multiplied to give the whole number must be the same two).
The two numbers are +5 and +8
The equation will therefore be = x²+5x+8x+40
You'll then factorize (I.e use a common factor of both values to bracket them)
x(x+5)+8(x+5)
(x+8)(x+5)
x is therefore (x+8=0) or (x+5=0)
x=(x=0-8) or (x=0-5)
x= -8 or x= -5
Answer:
<u>The sum of their ages now is 13</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Dally's age = x
Dilly's age = x - 7
In 4 years time Dilly will be half Dally’s age, therefore:
Dilly's age plus four equals to half of Dally’s age plus four,
replacing with the values and variables we know:
x - 7 + 4 = (x + 4) /2
x - 3 = (x + 4) /2
2x - 6 = x + 4 (Multiplying by 2 at both sides)
2x - x = 4 + 6 (Like terms)
x = 10 ⇒ x - 7 = 3
<u>The sum of their ages now is 13 (10 + 3)</u>
The answer to your question is
No
Answer:240 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
the third side is 40 m long
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of its three sides, and they give you what that value in meters is (120 m)
Your are given the length of two of them: 30 m and 50 m, and need to find the third one (let's call it "x" for this unknown side)
Now set the following equation:
Perimeter = side 1 + side 2 + side 3 --> replace these with the info you know
120 m = 30 m + 50 m + x --> add 30 m and 50 m obtaining 80 m
120 m = 80 m + x --> now solve for x (isolate the x on one side) by subtracting 80 m from both sides
120 m - 80 m = x --> perform the subtraction 120 m - 80 m = 40 m
40 m = x
Which tells us that the third unknown side has a length of 40 m
