A=2(l+w)h+l×w
A=2(4+2)×3+4×2
A=36+8
A=44 square feet, so there are 44 square feet of glasses were used to build aquarium. Hope it help!
we name bases k , k+6. so
area: 96= (k + k+6).8/2
=> 2k+6= 24 => k=9
a = 3, b= - 4 and c = - 4
expand the left side using FOIL
(2x + 1)(ax + b) = 2ax² + 2bx + ax + b = 2ax² + x(2b + a) + b
compare the coefficients of expressions on left and right sides.
compare 2ax² + x(2b +a) + b with 6x² - 5x + c
coefficients of x² terms → 2a = 6 ⇒ a = 3
coefficients of x terms → 2b + a = - 5 → 2b + 3 = - 5 → 2b = - 8 ⇒ b = - 4
constant terms c = b = - 4
