Answer:

x = -2   & x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 3x - 15 = 2x - 13 so you takeaway 2x and add 13 to the other side to get x^2 + x - 2 = 0

(x+2)(x-1) = 0 find factors of -2 that get you x

(x+2) = 0 so x = -2       (x-1) = 0  so x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 3x - 15 = 2x - 13

x² + x - 2 = 0

(x + 2)(x - 1) = 0

By zero product rule, (x + 2) = 0 or (x - 1) = 0.

Hence x = -2 or x = 1.

The floor of a gazebo is in the shape of a regular octagon. The perimeter of the floor is 72 feet. The distance from the center
Katyanochek1 [597]
The length of one side of the octagon is given by:
 L = 72/8

L = 9
 Then, the apothem can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem in the following way:
 11.8 ^ 2 = (9/2) ^ 2 + a ^ 2

 Clearing to have:
 a ^ 2 = 11.8 ^ 2 - (9/2) ^ 2
 a = \sqrt{11.8 ^ 2 - (9/2) ^ 2}
 a = 10.91
 Then, the area is given by:
 A = (8) * (1/2) * (L) * (a)

 Where,
 L: length of the octagon sides
 a: apotema
 Substituting values:
 A = (8) * (1/2) * (9) * (10.91)

A = 392.76 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the approximate length of the apothem is:
 
a = 10.91 feet
 
The approximate area of the floor of the gazebo is:
 
A = 392.76 feet ^ 2

What two consecutive numbers have a sum of 53? Thanks! :P
Musya8 [376]
Let's the name the first number x and the consecutive number x + 1. The sum of both of these numbers equals to 53.

We now have our equation:

x + x + 1 = 53

Now solve for x.

x + x + 1 = 53
2x + 1 = 53 <-- Combine like terms
2x = 52 <-- Subtract 1 from each side
x = 26

So, the first number is 26 and the second number is 27.
