Answer:
x² - 20 = 0
Using the quadratic formula

a = 1 b = 0 c = -20
So we have

Hope this helps you.
Answer:
there are no options listed, but some statements that are true about this question are:
- total perimeter = (8.5 x 2) + (5.5 x 2) = 28 feet = 9¹/₃ yards
- since Shelley purchased 10 yards of ribbon, it should be enough
- after finishing the blanket, Shelley will have 2 feet of ribbon left
X = -3
Pull out the like terms: -7x - 21 = -7 × ( x + 3)
Solve: -7 = 0
Solve: x + 3 = 0
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation
So, x = -3
Its c because 6*4 = 24
Thats how you find the area
