X can be 3 because:
(3+1)(3)=(4)(3)=12
I believe that is the only possible value for x.
Good luck to you!

Answer:

x can be 3 or (-4) because

area of a rectangle= length × breadth

12=x×(x+1)

12=x^2+x

x^2+x-12=0

x^2 +4x-3x-12=0

x(x+4)- 3(x+4)=0

(x+4)(x-3)=0

(x+4)=0 or (x-3)=0

Therefore, x=(-4) or 3

Since, the dimensions of a rectangle cannot be negative, x=3.

Therefore, the width of a rectangle(x)=3 cm,

the length of a rectangle(x+1)=(3+1)=4 cm

Pls mark me as the brainliest.

Suppose that there are two types of tickets to a show: advance and same-day. Advance tickets cost $35 and same-day tickets $30 c
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The number of same-day tickets sold is 15

The number of advance ticket sold is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The cost of each Advance ticket = $35

The cost of each same-day ticket = $30

The total cost of the tickets sold = $1150

The total number of tickets sold = 35

Let The number of advance ticket sold = a

And The number of same-day ticket sold = s

Now, According to question

The total number of tickets sold =The number of advance ticket sold + The number of same-day ticket sold

I.e a + s = 35                   .....A

The total number of tickets sold = The cost of each Advance ticket × The number of advance ticket sold + The cost of each same-day ticket × The number of same-day ticket sold

I.e $35 a + $30 s = $1150

or, 35 a + 30 s = 1150               .......B

Now, solving eq A and B

35 × ( a + s) - ( 35 a + 30 s ) = 35 × 35 - 1150

or, ( 35 a - 35 a ) + ( 35 s - 30 s ) = 1225 - 1150

or, 0 + 5 s = 75

∴  s = \frac{75}{5}

I.e s = 15

So, The number of same-day tickets sold = s = 15

Put the value of s in Eq A

So, a + 15 = 35

∴  a = 35 - 15

I.e a = 20

So, The number of advance ticket sold = a = 20

Hence The number of same-day tickets sold is 15

And  The number of advance ticket sold is 20   Answer

Choose the linear inequality that describes the graph. The gray area represents the shaded region.
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

2x + 3y ≥ 5

Step-by-step explanation:

See the graph attached.

The bold straight line passes through the points (1,1) and (4,-1).

Therefore, the equation of the straight line will be  

\frac{y + 1}{- 1 - 1} = \frac{x - 4}{4 - 1}

⇒ 3(y + 1) = - 2(x - 4)

⇒ 3y + 3 = - 2x + 8

⇒ 2x + 3y = 5 ............. (1)

Now, the shaded region i.e. the solution to the inequality does not include the origin(0,0).

So, putting x = 0 and y = 0 in the equation (1) we get, 0 < 5

Therefore, the inequality equation is 2x + 3y ≥ 5 (Answer)

Write the equation of the circle with center (0, 6) and radius 1.
lions [1.4K]
This is an equation in STANDARD form for a circle:

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

The values of (h, k) are the center point of the circle. When they are put into an equation, their symbols flip as in, if they are positive on a graph, they become negative in the equation and vice versa. 

The value (r) is the radius and is squared in the equation. In this case, the square root of 1 is 1. 

(x)^2 + (y-6)^2 = 1
