X= -5/7
y= 44/7
Hope this helps!!
Well we can say 10.90/10 = the cost per pound to ship the item
we can infer this from the above text so
10.90/10 = 1.09.
So 1.09 * 37 = 40.33
$40.33
or 40 dollars and 33 cents to ship the second box with a weight of 37lb (pounds).
Its a and b because it simply doesn't make any sense <span />
Answer: x = 4 and x = -3/2
Procedure:
1) Given: 2x^2 - 5x - 12 = 0
2) Multiply both sides by : 2(2x^2) - 2(5x) - 2(12) = 0
3) Rearrange: (2x)^2 -5(2x) - 24 = 0
4) Notice that the common factor is (2x)
5) Set the parenthesis with the common factor inside:
(2x ) (2x ) =0
6) The first sign is the same sign of the second term of the trinomial, which is negative, the second sign is the product of the signs of the second and the third terms of the polynomial, which is (-)*(-) = + (positive)
(2x - )(2x + ) = 0
7) find two numbers that sum up - 5x and its product is -24.
- 8 + 3 = - 5
(-8)(+3) = -24
=> the numbers in the factors are -8 and +3
(2x - 8) (2x + 3) = 0
That is the factored equation. Now you can solve
8) a) 2x - 8 = 0 => 2x = 8 => x = 8/2 => x = 4
b) 2x + 3 = 0 => 2x = - 3 => x = - 3/2
Answer: the two solutions are x = 4 and x = -3/2

3. The area of a triangle can be given by (just plug and chug as always):

The area of the triangle is
6ft².
4. I will divide into a triangle and a rectangle (because the actual equation for the area of a pentagon requires it to be a perfect pentagon). Let's do the triangle first (height is 3 because you subtract 12 from 15):


Now we just add them:

So, the area of that pentagon is
108m².
5. You are actually wrong on this one because the area of a triangle is:

So, just halve your answer and it will be correct.
6. We can just split it into 4 triangles of equal area and then multiply the area of 1 triangle by 4 to get the total area. Let's do just that:

Multiply by 4 to get total area:

So, the area of the given rhombus is
25cm².
