Answer:

20 comic books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first set up a variable, x, for the number of books that Zoe has. If Jared has 12 more comics than Zoe, he would have x+12 books.

Given that Zoe and Jared have a total of 28 comic books, let us write an equation and solve for x:

$x+x+12=28\\2x+12=28$

Now that we have a simplified version of the equation, let us solve for x by isolating the variable on the left side:

$2x=28-12\\2x=16\\x=8$

We now know that x=8, and also that Jared has x+12 books. To find the number of comic books Jared has, let us add 12 to x:

$x+12=\\8+12=\\20\\$

Therefore, Jared has 20 comic books.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions :)

Find the surface area of a cylinder with a diameter of 10 and a height of 45. Use 3.14 for π. Round your answer to the nearest t

Marina CMI [18]

You can easily use online calculators for this.

Steps:
1) Find radius. 45 / 2 = 22.5
2) Substitute values (r) and (h) in the formula for surface area of a cylinder:
SA = 2πr² + 2πrh
3) Solve the formula.

You should end up with 9542.59 units². This answer is using π.
To get the answer with (3.14), do the steps above.

For what value of x does (x + 3)^2-5=0

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

x = -3±sqrt( 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 3)^2-5=0

Add 5 to each side

(x + 3)^2-5+5=0+5

(x + 3)^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x + 3)^2 )=±sqrt( 5)

x+3 = ±sqrt( 5)

Subtract 3 from each side

x+3-3 = -3±sqrt( 5)

x = -3±sqrt( 5)
