Answer:
x = 5
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the scale is 2, the side of x needs to 4 because the corresponding side on the other figure is 2 (2 * 2 = 4).
So, x - 1 = 4
x = 5
Similar to the y side, the y side needs to be 10.
So, y + 1 = 10
y = 9
Answer:
x=7, -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-5x=14
x^2-5x-14=0
factor out the trinomial,
(x-7)(x+2)=0
zero property,
x-7=0, x+2=0,
x=0+7=7,
x=0-2=-2
48 because if you take the total area and subtract the area of the small squares you get 48 square inches left white
