X=4
First find the solution to (x+1) ft. I chose to guess the answer as 4 and it worked (you’ll have to guess). I then plugged 4 into the other equation 2x. It became 2•4. Solving give the side length of 8 ft. Then you have to check to make sure they both have the same area. To do this just solve the equations.
First rectangle- 4•4= 16 ft area
Second rectangle- 2•8 = 16 ft area
( I’m really sorry if this is confusing)
Answer:
I found two different solutions. Hope one of them help!
1. x = -1/3 = -0.333
2. x = 5/2 = 2.500
Step-by-step explanation:
13 ± √ 289
x = ——————
12
Can √ 289 be simplified ?
Yes! The prime factorization of 289 is
17•17
To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).
√ 289 = √ 17•17 =
± 17 • √ 1 =
± 17
So now we are looking at:
x = ( 13 ± 17) / 12
Two real solutions:
x =(13+√289)/12=(13+17)/12= 2.500
or
x =(13-√289)/12=(13-17)/12= -0.333
Two solutions were found :
x = -1/3 = -0.333
x = 5/2 = 2.500
Answer:
7 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you make an imbalanced equation: 22.75/x=13/4. Then you cross multiply: 22.75 * 4= 91. Then divide 91/13 = 7.
The longest piece is 24 ft and the smallest piece is 4 ft
Answer:
Su=10
Explaination:
So from s to u on the nunebr line is worth 2x-12. So what is s to u worth? Well. S to t on the number line = x-7. T to u =6. And 2 x is worth 12 more than s to u, using th e expression. X has to be at least 8 because otherwise the x-7 wouldn't work, and u might get s to u = 0 or a negative number.
Say x was 13, then 13 - 7 =6. So S to t =6. And r to u =6. So s to u =12. (6+6). Then check if the expression fits this answer of 12. 2x - 12. 2x = 26. 26-12=14, which doesn't match.
Let's try 14. 14-7=7. Then s to u = 7+6=13. The expression: 2x= 28. 28-12=16. 13 and 16 dont match. So we have got further away from what we need. Why don't we try going in the opposite direction. Rather than testing 13 and +1, let's now - 1 and try 12.
If x=12, then s to t =12-7=5. And s to u =6+5=11. The expression: 2x=24.-12=12. We are very close now with 11 and 12.
Lets test x=11!
S to t = 11-7=4. 4+6=10. So s to u =10.
2x=22. 22-12=10. So the expression works and the number line measurements.
The answer is su=10 and x=11.
