Answer:
The answer to your question is below
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 
Factor the numerator is a polynomial of the form x² + bx + c
s² - 3s - 28 = (s - 7)( s + 4)
Substitute

Simplify like terms
Result s + 4
b) 
Factor the numerator is a polynomial of the form x² + bx + c
c² + 5c - 24 = (c + 8)(c - 3)
Substitute

Simplify like terms c - 3
Result c - 3
To answer, it is assumed that e here is the Euler number which is equal to 2.718. Substitute this value to the e of the second equation to get the value of b.
b = 0.5(2.718^2) = 3.6945
Then, we substitute this value to the first equation to get the value of a.
a = 4(3.6945^2) = 54.498
Thus, the answer is approximately equal to 54.5.
There are some area calculators on google if you need but I will try work it out..... if I don’t know I won’t send another answer
Regroup
2(x-7)=36
Divide both sides by two
X-7= 36/2
Simplify 36/2 to 18
X-7=18
Add 7 to both sides
X=18+7
Simplify 18+7 to 25
X = 25
