You set up the problem correctly, just keep going.
Expand out your expression:
2x(3x-9) + 4x(x+13)
= 6x^2 -18x + 4x^2 + 52x
= 10x^2 +34x
Remember that the above expression is the area, so it is equal to 24.
10x^2 + 34x = 24
10x^2 + 34x - 24 = 0 (divide by 2)
5x^2 + 17x - 12 = 0
Done.
Answer:
B. The population is declining at a rate of 11.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
if your graph the equation you will clearly see that it is declining and if you don't know how to graph the equation then go to the demos calculator, its an app & website, super easy to use. most people would assume the answer would be one of the 88.5% just because it's in the original equation but the .885 in the equation doesn't represent the rate of change there for the answer is 11.5%.
ANSWER-
4
EXPLANATION-
12/3 = 4
Area of a square formula is the side to the second power, so you'll have to use that formula to find the area.
Step-by-step explanation:
16*16=256
256/2=128
