Better labeling so I can understand.
X^2-2x -3 =0
a =1 b =-2 and c = -3
x = - (-2) +/- sqrt (-2)^2 - 4(1)(-3)
--------------------------------------
2(1)
x = + 2 +/- sqrt [(4) - 4(-3)]
-------------------------------
2
x = +2 +/- sqrt [4 + 12]
--------------------------
2
x = +2 +/- sqrt[16]
-------------------
2
x = +2 +/- (4)

x = 6/2 or -2/2
x = 3 or x = -1
Answer:
3.7 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can answer this question by using the equation
(8+x)(7+x)=110
The x represents the width, as we do not know the area. If you simplify the equation, it becomes 56+15x+x2=110.
If you move all the terms to the left side, and rearrange it, it can become x^2+15x-54=0
This can be simplified into (x-3)(x+18)=0
This equation makes it so that x is either 3 or -18. It is not possible for a width to be -18, so the width must be 3.
