Answer:x²-2x-8
X²-2x=8
X²= -2x + (-1)² = 8 + (-1)²
X²= -2x + 1 = 8 + 1
X²= -2x + 1 = 9
(X-1)² = 9
√(x-1)² = √9
X-1 = ± 3
X= 1 + 3= 4
X= 1 - 3= -2
X= 4 or X= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
10 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the length of the shortest side of the triangle by x. Then the sum of the lengths of the other two sides is 2(x + 1), and the perimeter of the triangle is thus x + 2(x + 1), or 3x + 2.
Represent the side length of the square by x - 2. Then the perimeter of the square is 2(x - 2) + 2(x - 2) = 4(x - 2) = 4x - 8, and this perimeter matches that of the triangle:
4x - 8 = 3x + 2, or
x = 10
The length of the shortest side of the triangle is 10 units.
A)
4(q -10) = 76 . . . . . Tim got 4 points for every right answer, for a score of 76. He answered correctly 10 fewer questions than were on the test.
b)
q = 10 +76/4
q = 29
The total number of questions on Tim's math test was 29.
