$here \: given \: that \: total \: lenth = bd = 67 \\ then \: bd = bc + cd \\ so \: we \: can \: write \: that \\ 67 = 3x - 2 + 4x + 13 \\67 = 3x + 4x - 2 + 13 \\ 67 = 7x + 11 \\ 7x = 67 - 11 \\ 7x = 56 \\ x = \frac{56}{7} \\ x = 8 \\ thankyou$

What two numbers add to 8 and multiply to 28

anygoal [31]

Find numbers that multiply to 28 and add them to see if they add to 8
28=
1 and 28=29 not 8
2 and 14=16 not 8
4 and 7=11 not 8
that's it'
no 2 numbers
we must use quadratic formula

x+y=8
xy=28

x+y=8
subtract x fromb oths ides
y=8-x
subsitute
x(8-x)=28
distribute
8x-x^2=28
add x^2 to both sides
8x=28+x^2
subtract 8x
x^2-8x+28=0

if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0 then x= $\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$
so if we have
1x^2-8+28=0 then
a=1
b=-8
c=28

x= $\frac{-(-8)+/- \sqrt{(-8)^{2}-4(1)(28)} }{2(1)}$
x= $\frac{8+/- \sqrt{-48} }{2}$
x= $\frac{8+/- 4 \sqrt{-3} }{2}$
x= $4+/- 2 \sqrt{-3}$
x= $4+/- 2i \sqrt{3}$
there are no real numbers that satisfy this
