B. X^2-6x. =14
Half of -6 is -3 and -3^2=9 so add 9 to both sides
X^2-6x+9 = 14+9
(X-3)^2= 23
What have you done so far? Why not start by eliminating the variable x? Do you know how to do that? Hint: use multiplication / division of rows and then addition / subtraction.
Answer: 80
Step-by-step explanation:
length is 8m
Width is 6.5m
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let, width = b
So, length = 2b-5
area = 52
We know,
area of rectangle = length X width
So,
= 
On solving the above equation, we get
Width, b = 6.5m
length, l = 8m
