A = L * H
A = 65
L = 2H - 3
65 = H(2H - 3)
65 = 2H^2 - 3H
-2H^2 + 3H + 65 = 0
(-Hh + 13)(H + 5) = 0
-2H + 13 = 0
-2H = -13
H = -13/-2
H = 6.5 <== height is 6.5 inches
H + 5 = 0
H = -5....this wont work because it is negative
L = 2H - 3
L = 2(6.5) - 3
L = 13 - 3
L = 10 <== length is 10 inches
For this case we must express the following expression algebraically:
<em>"The quotient of b and 2 minus 4 is at least 26"</em>
So we have to:
The quotient of b and 2 minus 4, is represented as:
We have different signs subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:

Thus, the expression is written as:

ANswer:
