A = Lw (area of rectangle is length times width)
A = 15 (Area is 15)
L = 2x + 5 (length is 2 times a number plus another 5)
w = x - 4 (width is 4 less than that number

Plug in the values:
15 = (2x + 5)(x - 4)
FOIL
15 = 2x2 - 8x + 5x - 20
simplify:
15 = 2x2 - 3x - 20
Subtract 15
0 = 2x2 - 3x - 35
Factor out the quadratic. We know that one number has to be 7 and the other 5 so that they multiply together to make 35, and that one of them has to be negative so that it's actually -35.
That means we have m * n = -35
We also need it set up so that so that 2m + n = -3:
2 * -5 + 7 = -3
0 = (2x + 7)(x - 5)
So:
0 = 2x + 7, or 0 = x - 5
x = -7/2 or 5
We cannot have a negative length, so x = 5

Check:
15 = (2 * 5 + 5) (5 - 4)
15 = 15 * 1
15 = 15

I need help with this question. Question is in image below. ​
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

A. Answer is 2263.

Checkpoint 1 is -86 Checkpoint 4 is 2177

Subtract -86 from 2177....2177-(-86)   

=2263

2263 is how much higher checkpoint 1 (-86) is from checkpoint 4 (2177)

B. 239 FEET.

the altitude of the hill must be subtracted by the depth of the ckeckpoint(2)(-189)

therefore the altitude of the hill comes out to be 428-189=239feet.

therefore,the actual altitude of the hill is 239 feet.

Please help me out with this question

1) The process of cellular respiration takes place in the mitrochondria.
2) The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts. Only plant cells and the cells of autotrophic protists and some bacteria undergo this process.
3) Phospholipids are lipids that consist of glycerol joined to two fatty acids and a phosphate group, which gives this molecule two nonpolar hydrophobic tails and a polar hydrophilic head. Phospholipids form bilayers that are used to make up biological membranes.
4)While there are definitely many more than 4 important molecules, I'm assuming the ones you are looking for are carbohydrates, proteins, Nucleic acids, and lipids.
5)A molecule is made up of two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds, whereas a compound is a substance containing two or more elements in a fixed ratio. Both molecules and compounds are made up of atoms/elements, however, compounds MUST be made up of two different kinds of elements, while molecules could consist of the same kind.

Hope this helps! :)
