3x + 1 = (x-1)^2
3x + 1 = x^2 - 2x + 1
0 = x^2 -5x
0 = x(x-5)
x = 0,5
Hope this helps!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-8-10,-12-14
-8 plus -12 is -20
-20 times 5 is -100
-14 times 8 is -112
-100 is 12 more than -112
Hey I think the answer is letter b if not
I am sorry
You need two pieces and 1 has to be 2x longer than the other
set x as the smaller piece (easier to always go with the smaller value as x)
the other piece is 2x (double in size)
your equations would be 3x=240>>> x= 60
so smaller piece/ x= 60
bigger piece/ 2x= 120
