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.

f(2)= 2* 2 - 5 = -1

but if you meant f(x)=x²-5

its

f(2)=2²-5 = 4-5 = -1

it's indeed not the same for all other values of x, for example x=3!

What is the best way to solve a literal equation?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

To solve a literal equation means to express one variable with respect to the other variables in the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Determine which variable you need to isolate. Isolating a variable means getting the variable on one side of an equation by itself.

2.

Use algebra to solve for the desired variable. Use inverse operations to cancel variables on one side of the equation and move them to the other side. 3.

Keep the equation balanced. Whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must also do to the other side
