X = smaller number
y = bigger number
y = 3x
x+y = 20
x+3x = 20
4x = 20
x = 5
The smaller number is 5.
Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rule of exponents
= 
Note that 8 = 2³ and 2 =
, then
=
, that is
= 
Since the bases on both sides are equal, equate the exponents
3x = 1 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 
You can use the pythagoras theorem.
20^2=5^2+x^2
x^2=400-25
x^2=375
x = 19.36
20-19.36=0.64 feet
The answer is 0.64 feet :)
Answer:
Option B, 2x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Factor</u>
p(x) = 6x^3 + 17x^2 − 24x − 35
<em>p(x) = (x + 1)(3x - 5)(2x + 7)</em>
