Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
7x = x² - 8
=> x² - 7x - 8 = 0
use quadratic formula:
a = 1, b = -7, c = -8
x = <em>(pls ignore the "A" I don't know why it's showing up)</em>
=> x =
=> x =
=> x = = 4 or
= -5 <em>(the answer is only 4 since it's asking for the positive solution)</em>
Answer: 7.5
Form your proportion. Let x be the width of QRST.
Length of ABCD Length of QRST
----------------------- = -------------------------
Width of ABCD Width of QRST
8/5 = 12/x
Solve for x by cross-multiplying.
(8)(x) = (12)(5)
8x = 60
x = 7.5
