Use the concept of Lagrange multipliers.
Answer:
-1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 15 = -16
4x = -1
x = -1/4
The main factor when x values are high is the nature of the function. For example, polynomial functions intrinsically grow slower than exponential functions when x is high. Also, the greater the degree of the polynomial, the more the function grows in absolute value as x goes to very large values.
In specific, this means that our 2 exponential functions grow faster than all the other functions (which are polynomial) and thus they take up the last seats. Also, 7^x grows slower than 8^x because the base is lower. Hence, the last is 8^x+3, the second to last is 7^x.
Now, we have that a polynomial of 2nd degree curves upwards faster than a linear polynomial when x is large. Hence, we have that the two 2nd degree polynomials will be growing faster than the 2 linear ones and hence we get that they fill in the middle boxes. Because x^2+4>x^2, we have that x^2+4 is the 4th from the top and x^2 is the 3rd from the top.
Finally, we need to check which of the remaining functions is larger. Now, 5x+3 is larger than 5x, so it goes to the 2nd box. Now we are done.
Let x represent the length of the shortest side. Then the longest side is
... 2x -7 . . . . . . 7 ft shorter than twice the shortest side
and the 3rd side is
... x +2 . . . . . . 2 ft longer than the shortest side.
The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths,
... x + (2x -7) + (x +2) = 59 . . . . . the given perimeter length
... 4x -5 = 59 . . . . collect terms
... 4x = 64 . . . . . . add 5
... x = 16 . . . . . . . . divide by 4
Then the other sides are
... 2×16 - 7 = 25 . . . . . longest side
... 16 +2 = 18 . . . . . . . . third side
The side lengths are 16 ft, 18 ft, and 25 ft.

The answer to your question is:
x = -8; y = 1 ; z = -4

= 1040 - 360 - 72 - ( - 104 - 180 + 1440)
= 608 - 1156

x = -1096/ 137 = -8
y = 137 / 137 = 1
z = -548 / 137 = -4
