We have (x+12)·(x+5) = 120; where x > 0;
Then, x^2 + 17x + 60 = 120;
x^2 + 17x - 60 = 0;
The solutions are x1 = +3 and x2 = -20;
Then, x = 3 is the correct solution.
Finally, x + 12 = 15 feet (length) and x + 5 = 8 feet (width).

Solution 1
I gotchu this time buddy so substitute 2x-1 for the second equation: 3(2x-1)=6x-5
Distribute 3x :6x-3=6x-5
Subtract 6x from both sides
-3=-5 which is not true so the answer is no solution
Question
The graph of linear equation A passes thru the points (-7,4) and (3,-10), while the graph of linear equation B passes thru the points (-7,4) and (5,11). which of these is a solution to the system of equations consisting of linear equation A and B a. (-7,4) b. (3,-10) c. (5,11) d. (7,4) show work and i need really bad
Solution 1

We want to find the solution for the system of linear equations such that we know some points of the lines. We will see that the correct option is A: (-7, 4).

Systems of linear equations.

When we have a system of equations the solutions are the points where the graphs of the equations intercept.

Here we know that we have two lines:

  • Line A passes through (-7, 4) and (3, - 10)
  • Line B passes through (-7, 4) and (5, 11).

So we already can see that both lines pass through the point (7, -4), meaning that the lines do intercept at that point, so the solution of the system is that point (we know that we don't have more solutions because lines intercept only once).

So the correct option is A: (-7, 4)

Question
A cup has 4 pencils, 3 black pens, 1 blue pen, and 5 red pens. What is the probability of selecting a black or blue pen?
Solution 1
The probability of selecting a black or blue pen is 4 out of 13. You calculate this by adding the amount of pens together and comparing it to the total amount of pens and pencils in the cup.
Solution 2
4 out of 13 because in total there are 13 supplies in all and if you add 3 black pens PLUS 1 blue pen that will be 4.
Question
Solve the system of equations for 7x+2y=16 and -21x-6y=24
Solution 1
Simplifying
7x + 2y = 16

Solving
7x + 2y = 16

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
7x + 2y + -2y = 16 + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
7x + 0 = 16 + -2y
7x = 16 + -2y

Divide each side by '7'.
x = 2.285714286 + -0.2857142857y

Simplifying
x = 2.285714286 + -0.2857142857y

Solution 1
Judging on how the only even numbers between 1 and 5 are 2 and 4. You would use a calculator and do 2÷5 and it will come out as .40 meaning 40%! So there is a 40% chance of landing on a even number! Hope I helped!
Question
The area of a circle can be tripled by multiplying the radius by what factor?
Solution 1
A whole circle =  to 360 so you have to think of the radius to a factor for multiplying
Solution 2
By 1.73.

 Because the formula for the area of a circle is  \pi ×r².

So let us say the radius for circle A is 1. so area is equal to.  \pi ×2²
which is equal to 12.56

Now you need to triple the area, so if i am in the right path you would multiply area of circle A 3 times leaving you with 37.699

Now, we make use of the equation solving skills.

The way to find the radius is.

A= \pi ×r²

So

√(A÷ \pi )



So puting and solving the equations the factor of multiplication gives us 1.73 

 
Question
A rectangle has a length of (3.2a + 0.18b)centimeters.The width is half the length. Sasha writes the expression (12.8a + 0.72b) to represent the perimeter of the rectangle in centimeters. Is Sasha’s reasoning correct? Explain.
Solution 1
The width is half the length, so is
  width = (1/2)*length
  width = (1/2)*(3.2a + 0.18b) cm
  width = (1.6a +0.09b) cm

The perimeter of the rectangle is twice the sum of length and width.
  perimeter = 2*(length + width)
  perimeter = 2*((3.2a +0.18b) cm + (1.6a +0.09b) cm)
  perimeter = 2*(4.8a +0.27b) cm)
  perimeter = (9.6a +0.54b) cm

Sasha did not get this answer, so apparently ...
  her reasoning was not correct.
