Answer:

x=−2 or x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x2−2x−3=5

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.

x2−2x−3−5=5−5

x2−2x−8=0

Step 3: Factor left side of equation.

(x+2)(x−4)=0

Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.

x+2=0 or x−4=0

x=−2 or x=4

slega [8]

Since p varies directly with l,

p = kl (1)

Also, since w varies directly with l,

w = ml

or, l = w/m

Substitute in (1), we get,

p = k (w/m)

= (k/m) w

So, the price varies directly with weight.
