X - unit of length
w,l - the sides of a rectangle

7 : 2 ⇒ 7x : 2x

Perimeter: P = 207cm
Perimeter: P = 2w + 2l

therefore: 2w + 2l = 207 |divide both sides by 2

w + l = 103.5 (cm)

w : l = 7 : 2 ⇒ w : l = 7x : 2x ⇒ w = 7x; l = 2x

subtitute

7x + 2x = 103.5
9x = 103.5 |divide both sides by 9
x = 11.5 (cm)

7x = 7 · 11.5cm = 80.5cm
2x = 2 · 11.5cm = 23cm

w = 80.5cm; l = 23cm

Area = wl

Area: A = 80.5cm · 23cm = 1851.5cm²

The factorization of x2 + 3x – 4 is modeled with algebra

meriva

Option C: (x+4) and (x-1) are the factors of the equation

Explanation:

Given that the equation is $x^{2} +3x-4$

We need to determine the factors of the equation.

Splitting the middle term, we get,

$x^{2} +4x-x-4$

Grouping the terms, we have,

$x(x+4)-1(x+4)$

Let us factor out the term (x+4), we have,

$(x+4)(x-1)$

Thus, the factors of the equation are (x+4) and (x-1)

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

Answer:

$\bold{(f+g)(x)=2x^2+\frac32x-5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) =\frac x2-2\quad and\quad g(x) = 2x^2 + x - 3\\\\(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)\\\\(f+g)(x)=\frac12x-2+2x^2+x-3\\\\(f+g)(x)=2x^2+\frac32x-5$
