X=4
First find the solution to (x+1) ft. I chose to guess the answer as 4 and it worked (you’ll have to guess). I then plugged 4 into the other equation 2x. It became 2•4. Solving give the side length of 8 ft. Then you have to check to make sure they both have the same area. To do this just solve the equations.
First rectangle- 4•4= 16 ft area
Second rectangle- 2•8 = 16 ft area
( I’m really sorry if this is confusing)

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

$262.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Commission earned= 7.5%

Sales for last week= $3,500

Let us find the amount of the commission

=7.5/100* 3500

=0.075*3500

=$262.5

Hence the commission earned last week is

$262.5

A reflecting pool is shaped like a right triangle with one leg along the wall of a building. the hypotenuse is 9 feet longer tha

morpeh [17]

Answer:

Leg side along the wall = x ft = 8 ft

The other leg side = 7+x ft = 7+8=15 ft

The Hypotenuse =9+x ft = 9+8 = 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, the shape of the pool is right triangle.

Let the leg side along the wall to be the x ft

Let the other leg side to be 7+x ft

Let the longest side/hypotenuse to be x+9 ft

Apply the Pythagorean relationship where the sum of squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse

This means;

$x^2 +(x+7)^2=(x+9)^2\\\\$

Expand the terms in brackets

$x^2+(x+7)^2=(x+9)^2\\\\\\x^2+x^2+14x+49=x^2+18x+81$

collect like terms

$x^2+x^2-x^2=18x-14x+81-49\\\\\\x^2=4x+32\\\\\\x^2-4x-32=0$

solve for x in the quadratic equation by factorization

$x^2-4x-32=0\\\\\\x^2-8x+4x-32=0\\\\\\x(x-8)+4(x-8)=0\\\\\\(x+4)(x-8)=0\\\\\\x+4=0,x=-4\\\\x-8=0,x=8$

Taking the positive value of x;

x=8ft

Finding the lengths

Leg side along the wall = x ft = 8 ft

The other leg side = 7+x ft = 7+8=15 ft

The Hypotenuse =9+x ft = 9+8 = 17 ft
