The answer to your question is 2.3
start by plugging in the value you already have, in this case, 5 for y.
-4x-3(5)=17
-4x-15=17
-4x=32
x=-8
however, since a is a+1, a would be 7 (making x 8)
also plz tell me if i read this wrong and it’s actually 1,5 rather than a+1 and 5 cause if i did i’m so sorry lol.
LAW 2: The second law of indices tells us that when dividing a number with an exponent by the same number with an exponent, we have to subtract the powers. In algebraic form, this rule is as follows . The a represents the number that is divided by itself and m and n represent the powers.
To solve for <em>x</em>, we must first isolate the term containing <em>x</em> which in this problem is 5x.
Since 10 is being added to 5x, we subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate the 5x.
On the left, the +10 and -10 cancel out and on the right, 20 - 10 is 10 and we have 5x = 10.
Now we can finish things off by just dividing both sides of the equation by 5. On the left the 5's cancel and on the right, 10 divided by 5 is 2 so <em>x = 2</em>.
Answer:
Length = 12cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the recatngle is:
- width → x
and
- length → x+7
The area of a rectangle follows the formula: length*width
Meaning: x * (x + 7) = 60
Expand that: x^2 + 7x = 60
Rearragne the equation and factorise it
(x-5)(x+12) = 0
The width cannot be a negative value, so the answer must be 5.
Remember that x was the width and the length is the width add the 7.
So the length is 12 cm.
