Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number.
We have 2x + 18 = 3x - 5, therefore x = 23.
The number is 23.
Answer:
Option C: 6(7 * 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are six faces of the cube. Since each face is 7 by 7 units, there are 6(7 *7) units total.
Answer:
18 units
Step-by-step explanation:
So let's list out the sides.
for the first square let's just call them x
for the second square then they would be x+5 and x-3
So let's write out their areas we will cal the area of the first one z
x*x = z
(x+5)*(x-3) = z+21
since z = x^2 we can set up the second equation as a quadratic.
(x+5)*(x-3) = x^2 + 21
x^2 - 3x + 5x - 15 = x^2 + 21
But look, the x^2s cancel out
2x - 15 = 21
2x = 36
x = 18
Test it out and see if it fits the description, And if you don't understand anything just let me know so I can explain more.
This problem is asking you to apply the *Pythagorean Theorem*, given the information you’ve been given.
In case you’ve forgotten, the Pythagorean Theorem states that, in any given right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of its legs is equal to the square of the length of its hypotenuse (the side opposite its right angle). If we call the lengths of the legs a and b, and the length of the hypotenuse c, this can be expressed in notation as a^2+b^2=c^2 (it doesn’t matter in this case which leg you pick for a and which you pick for b). Here, if we choose the left leg as a and the bottom leg as b, we’re given that a^2 (the area of a square with sides of length a) is 25 sq. in, and b is 3.5 in. Plugging those values into the equation, we have:
25 + (3.5)^2 = c^2
From here, you don’t even need to solve for c, you just need to find the value of c^2 (since you’re trying to find the area of a square with side lengths c). Just solve the left side of the equation, and you’ll have your answer in square inches.
The answer to this is 5^(-3).
