Area of a rectangle: A= Length*width
(2x+1)(x+2)=77
2x^2+4x+x+2=77
2x^2+5x+2=77
2x^2+5x-75=0
(x-5)(2x+15)=0
x=5 or x=-7.5
Length cannot be negative, so x=5 only
the length is 11, the width is 7
Next, let's look at the triangle.
Area of a triangle: A=1/2 of base*height
(1/2)(2x+2)(x+3)=35
2x^2+8x+6=70
2x^2+8x-64=0
x^2+4x-32=0
(x-4)(x+8)=0
x=4
the base is 10, the height is 7

HELP MEE IM DIEING please i need help I'm very stupid and idk these things and if u could explain to me how I can add fractions
Dafna1 [17]
Fraction adding: Okay, so if you have two fractions with the same denominator like 2/3 and 1/3 then they are easily added. Just add the numerators together and then keep the denominator. Like this: 2/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 or 1 whole. Here is something for fractions with unlike denominators.
