Answer:
x=8,9
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-17x+72=0
(x-8)(x-9)=0
x=8,9
<em><u>Answer:</u></em>MN = 4 units
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u><u>1- getting the value of m:</u><u>We are given that:</u>
NQ = 4m and NQ = 12
<u>This means that:</u>
12 = 4m

m = 3
<u>2- getting MQ:</u><u>We are given that:</u>
MQ = 5m + 1
<u>We have calculated that:</u>
m = 3
<u>Therefore:</u>
MQ = 5(3) + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16 units
<u>3- getting MN:</u>We are given that point N is located somewhere between points M and Q.
<u>This means that:</u>
line MQ can be divided into two portions: MN and NQ
<u>This also means that:</u>
length of MQ = length of MN + length of NQ
<u>We have calculated that:</u>
MQ = 16 units
<u>We are given that:</u>
NQ = 12 units
<u>Therefore:</u>
16 = length of MN + 12
length of MN = 16 - 12
length of MN = 4 units
Hope this helps :)
Ok so 2cm on the blueprint is actually 7cm in real life
2:7=1:3.5
for every cm on the map, it is 3.5 times that in real life
so total legnths
17 times 3.5+18 times 3.5+18 times 3.5+19 times 3.5=
59.5+63+63+66.5=
252
answer is 252cm
M and n are both numbers to this problem
