Answer:

x = 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write equations for length and width using the information given:

length = 2 + x

width = 2x - 5

Area = (length)(width) = 56

Area = (2 + x)(2x - 5) = 4x - 10 + 2x² - 5x

Simplifying:

Area = 2x² - x - 10 = 56

2x² - x - 66 = 0

Factoring:

(2x + 11)(x - 6) = 0

x = 6, -11/2

We choose the positive number: x = 6 cm

To check, plug in 6 for x:

Area = (2 + x)(2x - 5) = 56

(2 + 6)(12 - 5) = 56

(8 × 7) = 56

56 = 56

A bag holds 11 beads. 7 are red, the rest are white. Two beads are taken at random from the bag. What is the probability that on
babunello [35]

Answer:

  The probability of the first draw is 100%, because the bead will be either red or white.  For the second draw, a different color must be drawn.

  So, if draw 1 is white, then the probability of draw 2 being red is 7/10.  and if the first draw is red, then the probability of draw two being white is 5/10.
