Answer:

The length is 15 and the width is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = length

w = l-5

We know the area is 150

A = l*w

150 = l ( l-5)

150 = l^2 - 5l

Subtract 150 from each side

0 = l^2 - 5l - 150

Factor

0= ( l+10) ( l-15)

Using the zero product property

l+10 =0  l-15=0

l = -10    l = 15

Since we cannot have a negative length

l = 15

w = 15-5 = 10

The length is 15 and the width is 10

let the length and width of the rectangle be L and w

given:

w = L-5

Area = 150 sq inches

area of the rectangle = L*w

150 = L*(L-5)

150 = L squared -5l

L squared  - 150 = 0

L squared - 15L+10L -150 = 0

L(L-15)+10(L-15)= 0

(L+10)(L-15)=0

(L+10 )= 0 or (L-15) = 0

L = -10 is not possible as there wont be negative lengths

so L = 15

there fore w = L - 5 = 15 - 5 = 10

L = 15 in and w = 10 in

If f(x) = 4x - 2 and g(x) = 2x + 7 then which of the following gives f(g(3))?

g(3) = 2*3+7 = 6+7 = 13

f(g(3))=f(13) = 4* 13 -2= 52 -2 = 50
