Answer:
X=9 and X=5
Step-by-step explanation:
So you want to get one side to equal zero so you can factor and find x. I recommend subtracting 14x and adding 45 to both sides so you don't have to deal with a negative quadratic.
X^2 - 14X +45 = 0
Now you can factor. Your looking for two factors that equal 45 and add to -14
All factors of 45:
1 and 45, 3 and 15, 5 and 9, -1 and -45,
-3 and -15, -5 and -9
So out of those combinations -5 and -9 both multiply to 45 and add up to -14 so these are our common factors
(X-5)(X-9)=0
X-5=0 add 5 to both sides X=5
X-9=0 add 9 to both sides X=9
The explicit rule for given sequence is:

Further explanation:
We have to determine first of all if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric.
- If the difference of two consecutive terms is same then the sequence is arithmetic sequence
- If the ratio of two consecutive terms is same then the sequence is geometric sequence
Given sequence is:
12,22,32,42

The common difference is 10 which is same for all consecutive terms. So the sequence is an arithmetic sequence.
The general formula for arithmetic sequence is:

Putting the values of a1 and d

Answer:
1 9/16 square feet or 1.5625 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle is Length x Width
First convert 2 1/2 into a number that is just a fraction.
2 = 4/2 so 4/2 + 1/2 = 5/2
Now you can multiply the two fractions to find the area.
area = 5 5 25
-- x -- = -----
8 2 16
To simplify this, you know 16/16 = 1 so subtract 16 from the numerator which leaves 9/16
Your answer will be 1 and 9/16
