The 2 possible ways to fence in the patio are having 8x9, with the nine being the length of the wall. Because 8+8+9=26. The second way is 18x4 and the 18 being the length of the wall. Because 18+4+4=26.
The negative solution is x = –1.
Solution:
Let the number be x.
Square of a number = x²
3 times a number = 3x
Difference of square of a number and 4 = 3 times that number

Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation, we get

–3x can be written as x – 4x.


1st bracket have common term x and bracket have –4 common term.

Take common term x + 1 outside.

<em>By zero factor principle, if AB = 0 then A = 0 or B = 0.</em>
x + 1 = 0, x – 4 = 0
x = –1, x = 4
The negative solution is x = –1.
Answer:
choose "infinitely more solutions"
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve this system by substitution method
y+1=2x
- 1 = - 1
y = 2x -1 <-- sbstitute this in the next equation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5y+5 = 10x
5(2x -1) + 5 = 10x
10x -5 + 5 = 10x
10x + 0= 10x
- 10x = -10x
0 = 0 <-- infinitely more solutions
Answer:
Softballs = (48/b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Total number of softballs = 48
She wants to divide them evenly among b softball bags.
We need to find an expression that represents how many softballs she should put into each bag.
As it is dividing among b softball, it means we divide 48 and b. So,

Hence, the required expression is (48/b).
