5+2w=l
2w+2l=130
2w+2(5+2w)=130
2w+10+4w=130
6w=130-10
w=120/6=20
l=5+2•20=45
Area=20•45= 900inches^2

Suppose that a>b>1, then

$a^x>b^x$ and $\log_ax$

Therefore, since 2<3<7, $\log_2x>\log_3x>\log_7x.$

Choose an arbitrary x>1. You have that a takes the greatest values at x, c takes the smallest value at x. Thus,

a>b>c and

$a=\log_2x;$
$b=\log_3x;$
$c=\log_7x.$

Answer: correct option is B.

Check the picture below.

$\bf \stackrel{\measuredangle DAC}{4y+2x}~~=~~\stackrel{\measuredangle BCA}{9y-x}\implies 2x=5y-x\implies 3x=5y\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{5y}{3}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\measuredangle DAB}{[(4y+2x)+35]}~~+~~\stackrel{\measuredangle ADC}{5x+4}~~=~~180\implies 4y+2x+5x+39 = 180 \\\\\\ 4y+7x+39=180\implies 4y+7x=141\implies \stackrel{\textit{substituting "x"}}{4y+7\left( \boxed{\cfrac{5y}{3}} \right)} = 141$

$\bf 4y+\cfrac{35y}{3}=141\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{3}}{3\left( 4y+\cfrac{35y}{3} \right)=3(141)}\implies 12y+35y=423 \\\\\\ 47y=423\implies y=\cfrac{423}{47}\implies \blacktriangleright y = 9 \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{since we know that}}{x=\cfrac{5y}{3}}\implies x = \cfrac{5(9)}{3}\implies \blacktriangleright x = 15 \blacktriangleleft$

How would I solve 7r=-7/2? I know the answer is -1/2 I just don't understand how to get -1/2 as my answer.

Art [367]

7r=-7/2

divide both sides by 7 to get r by itself

(7r)/(7) = (-7/2)/(7)

if you don't quite see it, think of multiplying both sides by 1/7 instead (its the same thing as dividing by 7)

(7r)*(1/7)=(-7/2)*(1/7)

r=-1/2
