x times 7 is greater than or equal to 17

Evaluate (2 a + b)^2/(3 b - 1) where a = -2 and b = 5:
(2 a + b)^2/(3 b - 1) = (5 - 2×2)^2/(3×5 - 1)
3×5 = 15:
(5 - 2×2)^2/(15 - 1)
| 1 | 5
- | | 1
| 1 | 4:
(5 - 2×2)^2/14
2 (-2) = -4:
(-4 + 5)^2/14
5 - 4 = 1:
1^2/14
1^2 = 1:
Answer: 1/14
Answer:
42.875
Step-by-step explanation:
First you find the x-intercepts and the vertex of the equation.
(-5, 0), (-2, 0), (-3/2, 49/4)
You use those coordinates to find the sides of the triangle and then you use the lengths to find the semiperimeter.
Lastly, you use Heron's formula to compute the area.
X<0
y > 0
so x is negative and y is positive
Quad. II
answer
Quadrant II
$16.8. the tip would end up being $2.8 and you add that to the original $14
