-------------------------------------------------------------
Formula for Area :
-------------------------------------------------------------
Area = Length x Width

Since we know that the area is 209 ft² and the sides are (4x-5)ft and (4x+3) ft, we will plug in these values and solve for x.

209 = (4x-5)(4x + 3)

-------------------------------------------------------------
Expand the quadratic using FOIL:
-------------------------------------------------------------
209 = 16x² + 12x - 20x - 15

-------------------------------------------------------------
Combine like terms:
-------------------------------------------------------------
209 = 16x² - 8x - 15

-------------------------------------------------------------
Take away 209 from both sides :
-------------------------------------------------------------
0 = 6x² - 8x - 224

-------------------------------------------------------------
Switch Sides :
-------------------------------------------------------------
16x² - 8x - 224 = 0

-------------------------------------------------------------
Divide by 8 through :
-------------------------------------------------------------
2x² - x - 28 = 0

-------------------------------------------------------------
Factoise :
-------------------------------------------------------------
(2x + 7) (x - 4) = 0

-------------------------------------------------------------
Apply zero product property:
-------------------------------------------------------------
2x + 7 = 0 or x - 4  = 0
x = -7/2 (rejected) or x = 4

-------------------------------------------------------------
Find the 2 sides :
-------------------------------------------------------------
(4x - 5) = (4(4) - 5) = 11 ft
(4x + 3) = (4(4) + 3)  = 19 ft

-------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The dimensions are 11 ft by 19 ft.

HELP what is the value of x?
pochemuha

Answer: Value of x is used to consider unknown value. The letter “x” is commonly used in algebra to indicate an unknown value. It is referred to as a “variable” or, in some cases, a “unknown.” In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable. ... A variable need not be “x,” but might be “y,” "w," or any other letter, name, or symbol

According to a recent New York Times poll, 25% of the public have responded to a telephone call-in
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Probability that exactly two people out of a randomly  chosen group of five people have responded to a telephone call-in poll is 0.264.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to a recent New York Times poll, 25% of the public have responded to a telephone call-in  poll.

Also, five people have people have been randomly selected.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r};x=0,1,2,3,.......

where, n = number trials (samples) taken = 5 people

           r = number of success = exactly two

           p = probability of success which in our question is probability that

                 public have responded to a telephone call-in  poll, i.e; p = 25%

<em><u>Let X = Number of people who have responded to a telephone call-in  poll</u></em>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 5, p = 0.25)

Now, probability that exactly two people out of group of five people have responded to a telephone call-in poll is given by = P(X = 2)

                P(X = 2)  =  \binom{5}{2} \times 0.25^{2} \times (1-0.25)^{5-2}

                               =  10 \times 0.25^{2}  \times 0.75^{3}

                               =  <u>0.264</u>

<em>Therefore, the probability that exactly two people out of a randomly  chosen group of five people have responded to a telephone call-in poll is 0.264.</em>
