Mathematics

Answer:

6 and -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle = 1/2 ab

42 = 1/2 (x)(x+8)

42 *2 = x(x+8)

84 = x²+8x

x²+8x-84 = 0

x²+14x-6x-84 = 0

x(x+14)-6(x+14) = 0

x-6 = 0 and x+14 = 0

x = 6 and -14

Hence the values of x are 6 and -14

eduardo has 4 1/2 yard of rope light. Exactly how many more yard does he need to finish the car's ceiling
Over [174]

Answer:

2 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the denominators are different, and there are whole numbers involved, then first make the fractions improper.

4 1/2 -> 9/2

6 2/3 -> 20/3

Next, make the denominators the same by multiplying each fraction by the denominator of the other.

9/2 * 3 = 27/6

20/3 * 2 = 40/6

Then you can subtract the numerators because the denominators are the same:

40/6-27/6= 13/6

Then you can convert to a mixed fraction if need be.
