Answer:

We are given that the frame is 2 units wide, which means that we subtract the length of the outer frame by 2 units for each side:

7 - 2 -2 = 3

9 - 2 -2 = 5

Now, we have the length and width for the smaller rectangle, so we use the area formula (area = length*width) to get:

3*5 = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equation.<br>x + 2x - 6 = 0

VLD [36.1K]

For this case we must solve the following quadratic equation:

$x ^ 2 + 2x-6 = 0$

Where:

$a = 1\\b = 2\\c = -6$

The solution is given by:

$x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}$

Substituting:

$x = \frac {-2 \pm \sqrt {2 ^ 2-4 (1) (- 6)}} {2 (1)}\\x = \frac {-2 \pm \sqrt {4 + 24}} {2}\\x = \frac {-2 \pm \sqrt {28}} {2}\\x = \frac {-2 \pm \sqrt {2 ^ 2 * 7}} {2}\\x = \frac {-2 \pm2 \sqrt {7}} {2}\\x = -1 \pm \sqrt {7}$

Thus, we have two roots:

$x_ {1} = - 1+ \sqrt {7}\\x_ {2} = - 1- \sqrt {7}$

ANswer:

$x_ {1} = - 1+ \sqrt {7}\\x_ {2} = - 1- \sqrt {7}$

the combined age of april and laura is 23 years. laura's age is two years more than half of april's age. what is laura's age

Kipish [7]

Laura's age is 9 years.

Solution:

Let x be the age of April.

Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age

<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>

Half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}$

2 years more than half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}+2$

Combined age of April and Laura = 23

⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+(\frac{x}{2}+2) =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+\frac{x}{2}+2 =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x}{1}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2}{1} =23$

To add the fractions make the denominators same.

Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x\times2}{1\times2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2\times2}{1\times2} =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{4}{2} =23$

Denominators are same, now add the fractions.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x+x+4}{2} =23$

Do cross multiplication.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 2x+x+4=23\times2$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=46-4$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=42$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x=14$

Aprils's age = 14 years

Laura's age = $\frac{14}{2}+2$

= 7 + 2

Laura's age = 9

Hence Laura's age is 9 years.

The equivalent expression to given expression is 1/3.

<h3>What is Equivalent Expression?</h3>

Equivalent expressions are defined as algebraic expressions which give the same resulting expression. An algebraic expression (or) a variable expression is defined as a combination of terms by the operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.

Here, given expression

$\sqrt{2/x^2} X \sqrt{x^2/18}$
