The answer to this is x^2 + 2x - 5
Answer: 7.5
Form your proportion. Let x be the width of QRST.
Length of ABCD Length of QRST
----------------------- = -------------------------
Width of ABCD Width of QRST
8/5 = 12/x
Solve for x by cross-multiplying.
(8)(x) = (12)(5)
8x = 60
x = 7.5
Answer:
y = -4x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to assume you are trying to write the equation of a line.
4x + y = 10
4x - 4x + y = 10 - 4x
y = -4x + 10
301.2916666667 is your answer.
