For perimeter you add all of the sides but for area you multiply each side
Answer:
x = -3 + 
, -3 -
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Isolate <em>x</em>'s
2x² + 12x = 7
Step 2: Factor
2(x² + 6x) = 7
x² + 6x = 7/2
Step 3: Complete the Square
x² + 6x + 9 = 7/2 + 9
(x + 3)² = 25/2
Step 4: Solve for <em>x</em>
√(x + 3)² = √25/2
x + 3 = 5√2/2
x = -3 ± 5√2/2
It would take about 25 months for the cost of leasing a billboard be the same for both companies.
<h3>
Linear function</h3>
A linear function is in the form:
y = mx + b
Where y,x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.
Let P represent the cost to lease a billboard from a different company for x months. Given that:
P(x) = 100x
For the second company, let C represent the cost, hence using the table point (1, 580) and (5, 900):
C - 580 = [(900 - 580)/(5 - 1)](x - 1)
C = 80x + 500
For the same cost:
100x = 80x + 500
x = 25 months
It would take about 25 months for the cost of leasing a billboard be the same for both companies.
