Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypotenuse is the longest side thus is (4x + 1)
The legs are 2x and (4x - 1)
Using Pythagoras' theorem, then
(4x + 1)² = (2x)² + (4x - 1)² ← expanding factors
16x² + 8x + 1 = 4x² + 16x² - 8x + 1 , that is
16x² + 8x + 1 = 20x² - 8x + 1 ( subtract 20x² - 8x + 1 from both sides )
- 4x² + 16x = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )
4x² - 16x = 0 ← factor out 4x from each term
4x(x - 4) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
4x = 0 ⇒ x = 0
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
Now x > 0, thus x = 4
2x = 2(4) = 8
4x - 1 = 4(4) - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15
4x + 1 = 4(4) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17
Thus
perimeter = 8 + 15 + 17 = 40 cm
Answer:
<u>30 gallons solution 4% and 10 gallons solution 8%</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>x•4%+y•8%=40•5% </h3>
<em><u>4x+8y=40•5 and x+y=40</u></em>
x=40-y
4(40-y)+8y=200
160-4y+8y=200
4y=200-160
4y=40 => y=10 (gallons solution 8%)
=> x=40-10=30 (gallons solution 4%)
30 gallons solution 4% and 10 gallons solution 8%
Answer:
5 carnations in each arrangement
Total of 60 carnations used
Step-by-step explanation:
First calculate how many flowers are in each arrangement by dividing the total number of flowers by the number of arrangements:
96 ÷ 12 = 8
Given each arrangement has 3 roses, subtract 3 from 8 to find the number of carnations in each arrangement:
8 - 3 = 5
Therefore, there are 5 carnations in each arrangement
Total number of carnations used = 5 x 12 = 60
Answer:
y = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
-3y+12 = -48 . -12 from both sides
-3y = -60 . ÷3 on both sides
y = 20
