Area of a rectangle = l * w

l = length

w = width

In this problem,

w = x

l = 2x - 4

Area = 70 in^2.

Plug these numbers into the area formula above.

70 = (2x - 4)x.

Distribute the x

70 = 2x^2 - 4x.

Subtract 70 from both sides

0 = 2x^2 -4x - 70

Factor the expression on the right side

0 = 2(x - 7) (x + 5) .

Set each term equal to zero

2 = 0.

x + 5 = 0.

Subtract 5 from each side

x = -5. Side lengths cannot he negative so we need to check the last term

x - 7 = 0

Add 7 to each side

x = 7

The width = 7 and we know that the length = 2(width) - 4, therefore,

l = 2(7) - 4

Simplify the expression

l = 10

The length is 10 inches and the width is 7 inches

Let's go:


7 = x

38 + x = 180

x = 180 - 38

x = 142°


7 = 142°


I hope I helped you

I believe all you would have to do to change it from a negative to a positive exponent is:

Put a 1 as the numerator (on top of the fraction). Then, put 3⁵ on the bottom as the denominator.

There's your answer! 1 / 3⁵

Option 2: whenever it’s < or > it’s a dashed line but when it’s <= or >= it’s a solid line

Option 4: if you’ll insert (0,0) in the equation then you’ll get 0>-2 which is true so (0,0) is a solution. Another way to check is if (0,0) is in the shaded region of the graph

Option 5: in the equation-2 is the y-intercept which proves it intersects at (0,-2) on the y-axis
