Answer 1

(2+2x)(3+2x) = 7

Answer 2

Steve your half right! All you forgot to do is simplify!
So, Alan, The correct answer is : 4x^2+10x-1=0

Answer 3

sorry it's so late
opps

Answer 4

its just 4 years late no biggie lol

Answer 5

A mirror frame in the shape of an oval is shown below. The ends of the frame form semicircles: (5 points)

An oval is formed by a rectangle with semicircles at each end. The length of the rectangle is 62 inches. The width of the rectangle is 27 inches.
Which of the following is the perimeter of the inner edge of the frame?

(π = 3.14)

146.78 inches
208.78 inches
293.56 inches
347.56 inches

Answer 6

The perimeter of the inner edge of the frame is equal to the sum of the circumference of the two semicircles and the length and width of the rectangle.

The length of each semicircle is equal to the width of the rectangle, which is 27 inches.

The circumference of each semicircle is equal to half the circumference of a full circle with a diameter of 27 inches:

C = 1/2 (πd) = 1/2 (π × 27) = 42.39 inches

The length of the rectangle is 62 inches and the width is 27 inches.

Therefore, the perimeter of the inner edge of the frame is:

P = 2C + 62 + 27 = 2(42.39) + 62 + 27 = 173.78 inches

So, the correct answer is not listed as an option.
