Answer:
A = x⁵ + 13x³ - 9x² + 40x - 72
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a rectangle is length X width, or A = lw.
Substitute the equations for the sides into the formula:
A = lw
A = (x² + 8)(x³ + 5x - 9) <= use the distributive property
A = x⁵ + 5x³ -9x² + 8x³ + 40x - 72 <= collect like terms
A = x⁵ + 13x³ - 9x² + 40x - 72
Written as an inequality- x+18<28
Distribute on the left side
7.4a+22.2=3.2a+43.2
Subtract 3.2a from both sides
4.2a+22.2=43.2
Subtract 22.2 from both sides
4.2a=21
Divide both sides by 4.2
a=5
