Solve and check equation 20 = 2r - 3r + 10

Andreas93 [3]

2r-3r+10=20

Move all terms to the left:

2r-3r+10-(20)=0

add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1r-10=0

move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right

-r=10

r=10/-1

r=-10

Which statement most accurately explains why x^5/x^2 is equal to x^3?

Serggg [28]

$\bf \cfrac{x^5}{x^2}\implies \cfrac{x^{3+2}}{x^2}\implies \cfrac{x^3\underline{x^2}}{\underline{x^2}}\implies x^3$

What are the diameters of the painting? Easy!!!

x = 10.22 in

Solution:

Width of the figure = x in

Length of the figure = (2x + 5) in

Area of the figure = 260 in²

To find the value of x:

Area of the figure = length × width

length × width = 260

(2x + 5) × x = 260

$2x^2+5x=260$

Subtract 260 from both sides of the equation.

$2x^2+5x-260=0$

Factor the above quadratic expression.

Quadratic equation formula:

$$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

$$x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^{2}-4 \cdot 2(-260)}}{2 \cdot 2}$

$$x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{2105}}{4}$

$$x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{2105}}{4}, \ x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{2105}}{4}$

x = 10.22, x = –12.72006

Dimension of the figure cannot be measured in negative terms.

Hence x = 10.22 in.
