The painter needs at least two gallons of paint to cover the wall.

To get this answer, you first need to find the area of the wall; by multiplying 20.5 x 16.4. This will get you 336.2.

Then, you need to divide 336.2 by 200. This will get you approx. 1.6.

If it's asking for partial gallons as well, stop here. Your answer is 1.6.

If not, continue.

Unless you're including partial gallons, you can't get 1.6 gallons of paint, so you need to round up. This will be 2 gallons.

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the area of the wall.

Area of a rectangle = width x length

Width = 16.4 ft and length = 20.5 ft

Therefore, area = 16.4 x 20.5 = 336.2 ft²

If one gallon can of paint covers 200 ft²  then we need 2 cans of paint to paint a wall measuring 336.2 ft² (as 2 cans of paint = 2 x 200 = 400 ft²)

Answer:

x = 1 + \sqrt{2} \ \ or \ 1- \sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

x² - 2x - 1 = 0

Solve by completing the square method;

⇒ take the constant to the right hand side of the equation.

x² - 2x = 1

⇒ take half of coefficient of x = ¹/₂ x -2 = -1

⇒ square half of coefficient of x and add it to the both sides of the equation

x^2 +  (-1)^2 = 1 + (-1)^2

(x-1)^2 = 1 + 1\\\\(x-1)^2 = 2\\\\

⇒ take the square root of both sides;

x-1 = +/- \ \ \sqrt{2} \\\\x = 1 + \sqrt{2} \ \ or \ 1- \sqrt{2}

Therefore, option B is the right solution.

A construction crew is lengthening a road. The road started with a length of
raketka [301]
L = 4d + 54

after crew worked 33 days...d = 33
L = 4(33) + 54
L = 132 + 54
L = 186...so after 33 days, the crew made a road that measures 186 miles
