Ok, I'm going to start off saying there is probably an easier way of doing this that's right in front of my face, but I can't see it so I'm going to use Heron's formula, which is A=√[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] where A is the area, s is the semiperimeter (half of the perimeter), and a, b, and c are the side lengths.
Substitute the known values into the formula:
x√10=√{[(x+x+1+2x-1)/2][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-x][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-(x+1)][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-(2x-1)]}
Simplify:
<span>x√10=√{[4x/2][(4x/2)-x][(4x/2)-(x+1)][(4x/2)-(2x-1)]}</span>
<span>x√10=√[2x(2x-x)(2x-x-1)(2x-2x+1)]</span>
<span>x√10=√[2x(x)(x-1)(1)]</span>
<span>x√10=√[2x²(x-1)]</span>
<span>x√10=√(2x³-2x²)</span>
<span>10x²=2x³-2x²</span>
<span>2x³-12x²=0</span>
<span>2x²(x-6)=0</span>
<span>2x²=0 or x-6=0</span>
<span>x=0 or x=6</span>
<span>Therefore, x=6 (you can't have a length of 0).</span>
Answer:
a^2 - 25
Step-by-step explanation:
5(a-5) turns into 5a - 25
a(a-5) turns into a^2 - 5a
added together, it's a^2 - 25
He can conclude that the system of equations has no solution since one equation in it always results with false equivalency.

Answer:
7/40
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 girls+9 boys = 12 students in the 7th grade
P (girl in 7th grade) = girls/ total
= 3/12 = 1/4
There are 7 girls+3 boys = 10 students in the 8th grade
P (girl in 8th grade) = girls/ total
= 7/10
P(7th grade girl, 8th grade girl) = 1/4 * 7/10 = 7/40
