This may not be very pretty.
(2x + 5) * (2x + 5) expanded is (use foil)
F = 4x^2
O = 2x * 5 = 10x
I = 2x + 5 = 10x
L = 25
Total = 4x^2 + 20x + 25
(x + 3)(x + 3) = x^2 + 6x + 9 by the same method
(2x + 7)(2x + 7) = 4x^2 + 28x + 49 Same method.
4x^2 + 20x + 25 + x^2 + 6x + 9 = 4x^2 + 28x + 49
5x^2 + 26x + 34 = 4x^2 + 28x + 49 Collect everything on the left.
x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0
x + 3 will have no meaning.
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
2x + 5 = 2*5 + 5 = 15
x + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8
2x+ 7 = 2*5 +7 = 17
Check
15^2 + 8^2 = 17^2
225 + 64 = ? 289
289 = 289
a = 15 <<<<< answer
b = 8 <<<<< answer
c = 17 <<<<< answer
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The new height is 24
The original height is 3
24/3 is 8
The scale factor is 8
The answer is A. i hope this helps!
Answer:
(A)74
Explanation:
Let her average score on the last two tests = x.
The six scores will now be: 82,78,87,73, x and x.
Since the average score for her first six chemistry tests = 78

We then solve for x.

Her average score for the last two tests is 74.
<u>By substitution method </u>
5x - 3y =1
3x + 2y = 1
