3(-1) + 5y = 17
add 3 to both sides
5y=20
divide by 5
y=4
It’s being divided by -3, so that means the next number is 1/3, or one third
Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
let me know if you want an explanation
( 6 + x)(9 + x) =88
54 + 15x + x^2 = 88
x^2 + 15x - 34 = 0
(x + 17)(x - 2) = 0
using zero product property:-
x + 17 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 giving:-
x = -17 , x = 2
x is the amount that the length and width are increased by.
x = -17 is negative and doesn't make sense in this context and can be ignored; so the amount of increase is 2 feet.
