First, we know the formula for area is:
Area = Length* Width

Therefore, 128 = (3x+7)(x+5)

We can use the F.O.I.L method to multiply
- First: (3x *x )= 3x²
-Outer: (3x*5) = 15x
-Inner: (7*x) = 7x
-Last: (7*5) = 35

Now we add the sum → 3x² + 15x + 7x + 35 →  3x² + 22x + 35

3x²+ 22x + 35 = 128
3x²+ 22x -93 = 0

Now you have to factor to solve for the x value.
<span>(<span><span>3x</span>+31</span>)</span><span>(<span>x−3</span><span>)
</span></span>x = 3 & x = -31/3 

The negative value is eliminated because u can't have a negative length.

The length is 3x+7

L= 3(3) +7
L= 9+7
L= 16

Someone please help me
MariettaO [177]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's think of this as the equation y=mx+b, where m represents the slope and b equals the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is where the line hits the y-axis. As we can see, it hits it at the y-value of zero. Therefore, our equation is just left as y=mx now because b is 0.

We want to find the slope now. This is known as the rise/run, or the y/x. This is basically saying how far up it goes for every one step to the right. If we go to the x-value of one, we see that the y-value is at a little bit less than one. We want to keep on moving to the right until the y-value is at a nice integer value (number without fractions).

If we keep on moving to the right, we see that at the x-value of 3, the y is at 2. This means that the slope is 2/3. And it makes sense! When we were looking at that value of 1, the y-value was less than one and looked like it was at about 2/3, or 0.666....

This will apply to all points on the line. Our y will always be 2/3 of what x is.

Therefore, the equation is y=2/3x

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
