Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take this number as x, translating this description of the equation into mathematical language;

x^2 = 3x - 2

Now let us solve for x;

x^2 = 3x - 2,\\x^2+2=3x-2+2,\\x^2+2=3x,\\x^2+2-3x=3x-3x,\\x^2-3x+2=0,\\\\Factored = \left(x-1\right)\left(x-2\right)=0,\\Zero Factor Principle, \\x = 1, x = 2\\\\Solution - Option A

* Note that for the the previous problem I solved, I set up a similar equation that had two values for the width, one negative and the other positive. Now the width could only be a positive number, so there was only one solution out of the two.

Answer:

Since the Line is Perpendicular

m.m'=-1

The line

y=x+8

Comparing with

Y=mx + C

m=1

m.m'=-1

m'=-1/m = -1/1 = -1.

y-y' = m'(x-x')

The point it passes is (-7,8)

y-8= -1(x--7)

y-8=-1(x+7)

y-8 = -x - 7

y + x -1 = 0.

or In Slope intercept Form

Just Make y the subject

y= -x + 1 ..... This is your answer.

Hope this helps!!!

What is the area of the shaded region of the figure
Alborosie
So we're looking at two rectangles, one cut out of the other, so all you do is find the area of the big one, base times height equals area, minus the area of the small one, base times height equals area. So the equation you have to solve for is this,

Area=(12.6X14)-(3X8.4)
