I think the answer is 1 for every 4
That's false. Coinage is the responsibility of the US mint.
That's why the process is called "minting" and not "reserving".
If the sol'ns are -9 and 9, then we can use this to form our eq'n:
(x - 9)(x + 9) = 0
x^2 - 81 = 0
so...
x^2 + z - 103 = x^2 -81
z - 103 = -81
z = -81 + 103
z = 22
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The side of the square = x + 2, thus area is equal to
(x + 2)² ← expand using FOIL
= x² + 4x + 4
Given area = 7 then
x² + 4x + 4 = 7 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
x² + 4x = 3 ← as required
