Area is given by the formula
  Area = length*width
Filling in the given information, we have
  51 = (2m+7)*(m-2)
  2m² +3m -65 = 0
  (m -5)(2m +13) - 0
  m = -13/2 or 5
Since dimensions of physical objects are non-negative, the value of m is 5.

m = 5 because if you create an equation you get 2m^2 + 3m - 65 = 0 then you factor find the two roots and take the positive one and viola your answer is 5

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given intervals

( - ∞, - 5) ← use any value < - 5 but not - 5, the parenthesis ) indicates that x is less than - 5 but not equal to - 5

(- 5, - 1) ← - 4, - 3, - 2 can be used but not - 5 or - 1

(- 1, 4) ← 0, 1, 2, 3 can be used but not - 1 or 4

(4, ∞ ) ← use any value > 4 but not 4

Hence

3 can be used in (- 1, 4)

- 6 can be used in (- ∞, - 5)

zero can be used in (- 1, 4)

- 5 cannot be used in any of the given intervals
