(2n +1) + (2n + 3) + (2n + 5) = 51
6n + 9 = 51
6n = 42
n = 7
numbers are 15 17 and 19

X^2 + 6x - 18 solve for x

Simora [160]

Answer:

x = - 3 ± √27 or if you want it in decimal form correct to nearest hundredth:

x = -8.20, 2.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 6x - 18 = 0

this will not factor so we use completing the square:

x^2 + 6x = (x + 3)^2 - 9 so:

(x + 3)^2 - 9 - 18 = 0

(x + 3)^2 = 27

x+ 3 = ±√27

x = - 3 ± √27

a swimming pool 25m by 10m has a concrete border all round. Find the area of the concrete border if it is 2.5m wide at the sides

Ksju [112]

So from what I understand, you would multiply 10m by 5m for the width to get 50m squared, and multiply the 50 by 2 to get 100m for both sides of the width for the pool. Next the length. Multiply 25m by 2.5m to get 62.5m squared. Once again, mutiply it by 2 for both side lengths of the pool to get 125m. Last, add 125m and 100m to get 225m for the concrete border of the pool.
