Answer:

The equation 0 = 3x² + 17x - 160 might be useful in determining the length.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the vegetable garden is specified as 170 ft².

Now, regarding the provided equations;

1) For 0 = 3x² + 2x + 180, applying the quadratic formula results in:

x = [-2 ± √(3² - 4(3 × 180)]/(2 × 3)

x = [-2 ± √(-2151)]/6

The square root value is negative, indicating no real solution for x.

Thus, this equation does not help find the length.

2) For the equation 0 = 3x² + 10x + 180, employing the quadratic formula, the square root value is also negative, hence there's no natural root for x. This means this equation can't be used to determine the length.

3) For 0 = 3x² + 17x - 160, the roots when using the quadratic formula yield -10.67 or 5. The value 5 is viable since it is a whole number. Considering the area is also a whole number, this equation can be applied to ascertain the length.

4) For 0 = 3x² - 160, simplifying gives;

3x² = 160

x² = 160/3

x = ±√(160/3)

x = ±7.303

Since the area is a whole number but this length isn't, this equation may not accurately determine the length.

If R is the midpoint of QS, RS=2X-4, ST=4X-1, and RT=8X-43, find QS

zzz [12365]

RT equals RS plus ST
8x - 43 = 2x - 4 + 4x - 1
Simplify: 8x - 43 = 6x - 5
Bring variables to one side: 8x - 6x = -5 + 43
2x = 38
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 19

Calculate QS as twice RS:
QS = 2 * RS = 2 * (2x - 4) = 2 * (2*19 - 4) = 2 * 34 = 68

The area of ABED is 49 square units. Given AGequals9 units and ACequals10 units, what fraction of the area of ACIG is represent

Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

The shaped region accounts for 7/18 of the area of ACIG.

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the attached diagram for further clarity on the problem.

Step 1

Determine the length of one side of square ABED.

We know that

AB=BE=ED=AD

The area of a square can be calculated as

$A=b^{2}$

where b is the side length.

We have

$A=49\ units^2$

So we substitute

$49=b^{2}$

$b=7\ units$

Thus,

$AB=BE=ED=AD=7\ units$

Step 2

Calculate the area of ACIG.

The area of rectangle ACIG is determined by

$A=(AC)(AG)$

Substituting the given values yields

$A=(9)(10)=90\ units^2$

Step 3

Determine the area of the shaded rectangle DEHG.

The area of rectangle DEHG is given by

$A=(DE)(DG)$

We find $DE=7\ units$

$DG=AG-AD=9-7=2\ units$

and substitute $A=(7)(2)=14\ units^2$

Step 4

Calculate the area of shaded rectangle BCFE.

The area of rectangle BCFE equals

$A=(EF)(CF)$

We see that

$EF=AC-AB=10-7=3\ units$

$CF=BE=7\ units$

and substitute

$A=(3)(7)=21\ units^2$

Step 5

Add the areas of the shaded regions together.

$14+21=35\ units^2$

Step 6

Divide the area of the shaded region by the area of ACIG.

$\frac{35}{90}$

Simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5.

$\frac{7}{18}$

Hence, the shaped region represents 7/18 of the area of ACIG.

(Please Hurry!) Which expression is equivalent to the following complex fraction?

lawyer [12517]

Answer:

The equivalent expression for the provided complex fraction is

$\frac{-2x+5y}{3x-2y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the complex fraction, calculating the numerator and denominator individually is effective.

Numerator:

$\frac{-2}{x} + \frac{5}{y}\\ = \frac{-2y + 5x}{xy}$

Denominator:

$\frac{3}{y} + \frac{-2}{x}\\ = \frac{3x - 2y}{xy}$

Resolving the complex fraction:

$[\frac{-2}{x} + \frac{5}{y}] / [\frac{3}{y} + \frac{-2}{x}]\\= [\frac{-2y + 5x}{xy}] / [\frac{3x - 2y}{xy}]$

$=\frac{-2y + 5x}{xy} * \frac{xy}{3x - 2y}$

Common terms in the numerator and denominator will cancel out (Cross multiplication):

$= \frac{-2y + 5x}{3x - 2y}$
