We know the perimeter is the total sum of all sides of the shape, we can use this to form an equation: the perimeter=1st side + 2nd side + 3rd side + 4th side 39a-7=9a+(5a+1)+(17a-6)+4th side.
Collect like terms to get 39a-7=31a-5+4th side
If we move everything but the 4th side over to the left we can solve
C. 8a-2=4th side is the correct answer
Please: Use "^" to denote exponentiation: <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0
Reduce this by div. every term by 2: </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0
Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6. Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:
</span> x^2 + 4x +4 - 4 - 6 = 0. Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation
(x+2)^2 = 10. Take the sqrt of both sides: x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).
Finally, solve for x: x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).
Fraction simplified:33/40
Decimal:0.825
Percent:82.5
I'm pretty sure the answer is "A matrix separates rational and irrational numbers." (Note: I'm not that great with memorizing definitions, but I'm pretty sure.) Hope this helps :)
Here is the solution to the given problem above.
Given the the amount of water in a pool is decreasing 5/8 gallon every hour.
And what would be the change in the number of gallons after 3/4 hour. So what we are going to do is just to multiply 5/8 by 3/4. And the result would be 15/32. The total change in the number of gallons of water in the pool after 3/4 hour would be 15/32 gallons.
