Answer:12

Step-by-step explanation:

Your goal with variables should always be to isolate them.

so the first step is to subtract the 4

3x^2+4=436

-4= -4

3x^2=432

The next step to isolate the variable x is to get rid of the 3. To get rid of the 3 you have to divide both sides by 3 since it is the opposite of multiplying.

3x^2=432

/3. =/3

x^2=144

the last step to isolate the x is to do the opposite of what an exponent is, which is to find the square root. So when you square the x^2, the exponent cancels out.

square root of x^2=x

square root of 144=12

x=12

hope this helps!

dolphi86 [110]

The slope of cd is 2/5

the slope of ef is -4-y/10

the lines are parallel so the slopes are equal

-4-y/10= 2/5

-4-y=2/5x10=4

-y=4=4=8

y=-8

Danielle built a rectangular dog run that is 888 feet wide and has an area of 208 square feet.

umka2103 [35]

Let us assume the length of the rectangle = x
Width of the rectangular dog run = 888 feet
Area of the rectangular dog run = 208 square feet
We already know
Area = Length * Width
Length = Area/Width
= 208/888 feet
= 0.23 feet
So the length of the rectangular dog run is 0.23 feet. Since you have commented that you made a mistake in giving the question so the answer will also definitely change but the procedure will remain the same.

A rain gutter is made from sheets of aluminum that are 18 inches wide by turning up the edges to form right angles. Determine th

Sidana [21]

So if we look at the cross section
and assume that the amount turned up is the same on both sides

so what we can do is make 1 equation and find the max or vertex

if the sides are legnth x and base is y
2x+y=18

and the cross sectional area is xy

2x+y=18
minus 2x both sides
y=18-2x
sub for y

x(18-2x)=areamax
18x-2x^2=areamax
we have a parabola
-2x^2+18x+0=areamax
to find the max y valie or area, we find the y value of the vertex
but the x value of the vertex is what we are looking for to find the value of x to max the area
for
ax^2+bx+c=y
x value of vertex is -b/2a
-18/2(-2)=-18/-4=9/2=4.5
4.5=x value of vertex

aswer is 4.5in
