Answer:
<u>The solutions to this quadratic equation are 10 and 3.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's recall the formula for solving this type of equations, called quadratic equations:
x = ( - b +/- √ b² - 4ac)/ 2a
The equation given is x2 – 13x + 30 = 0,
where a = 1, b = - 13 and c = 30
Now replacing with the real values, we have
x = [ - (-13) +/- √ (-13)² - 4 * 1 * 30] / 2 * 1
x = [ 13 +/- √ 169 - 120] / 2
x = [13 +/- √ 49]/ 2
x = [ 13 +/- 7 ]/ 2
<u>x₁ = 13 + 7/2 = 20/2 = 10</u>
<u>x₂ = 13 - 7/2 = 6/2 = 3</u>
i think that's the answer
Answer:
Length equals 16 and Width equals 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First let us create an equation. We can use L and W for length and width.
If the length is 4 times the width, then we end up with: L = 4W
It then says, " If its length were diminished by 6 meters and its width were increased by 6 meters, it would be a square."
Since a square has an equal length and width then we end up with:
L - 6 = W + 6
Knowing this we can just substitute the first equation into the second one leaving us with: 4W - 6 = W + 6
We then remove a W from both sides so that the right side is left with a 6, and add 6 to both sides to remove the -6 from the left one.
This leaves us with 3W = 12
W = 4, and if we put that into our first equation, L = 4W, then Length equals 16, and Width equals 4. We can check this by putting it into the 2nd equation. 16 - 6 = 4 + 6.
