Answer:

x=3, -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+2x+25=40

x^2+2x+25-40=0

x^2+2x-15=0

factor out the trinomial,

(x-3)(x+5)=0

zero property,

x-3=0, x+5=0,

x=0+3=3,

x=0-5=-5.

How do you do this? <br> Find M

Luden [163]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let angle ABZ be angle 1 and angle ZBC be angle 2.

Angle 1 = 85 degree

Angle 2 = 6x + 9

measure of angle ABC = 24x+4

Angle 2 = ABC - 85

6x + 9 = 24x + 4 - 85

6x - 24x = 4 - 85 - 9

-18x = -90

x = -90/-18 = 90/18 =

x = 5

Therefore the measure of angle 2 = 6*5 + 9 = 30+9 = 39 degree

Therefore the measure of angle ZBC = 39 degree

Here is a pattern of dots.

EleoNora [17]

The dots in the patterns are illustrations of a sequence or progression

The number of dots in step 10 is 84
The number of dots in step n is (n -1)^2+ 3

<h3>The number of dots in step 10</h3>

From the pattern, we have:

Step 0 = 3 dots
Step 1 = 4 dots
Step 2 = 7 dots
Step 3 = 12 dots

So, we have the following pattern

$T_n = (n -1)^2+ 3$

When n = 10, we have:

$T_{10} = (10 -1)^2+ 3$

T10 = 84

This means that, there will be 84 dots in step 10 and there will be (n -1)^2+ 3 dots in step n
