X(x-2)=15
x^2 - 2x = 15
x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0
(x-5)(x+3)=0
x-5=0 x+3=0
x=5 x=-3

The length is 5 because -3 cannot be the answer as it is negative. The height of the wall is 3 because 5-2 is 3.

What is the equation of the line through (1,4) and (2,2)?<br> y= _x + __
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

y = -2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + c

m = (2-4)/(2-1) = -2/1

m = -2

y = -2x + c

When x = 1, y = 4

4 = -2(1) + c

c = 4 + 2 = 6

y = -2x + 6

30 points and brainlist question on the photo number 25 only
pogonyaev
Length of rectangle: 4x+3
Perimeter of rectangle: 12x+10
Solving:
4x+3 + 4x+3= 8x+6
Now we have 8x+6 but, we still need our width.
12x+10 - 8x+6 = 4x+4
So now, since we only have 4x+4 left for our width, we are going to divide that by 2 because in a rectangle, there are 2 lengths and 2 widths.
So in conclusion, the width of the rectangle is 2x+2
Glad I could help!
And also, can you please mark my answer as the brainliest answer?
Thanks.
