Neither one of the slopes are going to be minus. It means you are travelling backwards in time, which is wonderful if you are a sci-fi fan, but not so good if you are Sharon. A and D has Sharon going from 70 to 0. That can't be happening so both are wrong.
Now you have to decide between B and C. The intersection point has Sharon going upwards until she is 20. She started out at 70. The graph has John starting at 70. That's not right.
So we've eliminated A,D and now C.
The answer must be B. They meet when Sharon is 90 and John is about 22.5 which is what it should be.
Answer:
x8+12
x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
Im not really sure so ill just give it a try.
mayeb 70? ten less"
The area of the shaded region will be the area of the rectangle minus the area of the white square inside of it:
((x+10)(2x+5)) - ((x+1)(x+1))
First, FOIL both of the areas separately:
(2x^2 + 5x + 20x + 50) - (x^2 + x + x + 1)
Simplify within the parentheses by adding like terms:
(2x^2 + 25x + 50) - (x^2 + 2x + 1)
Now, subtract one equation from the other:
2x^2 + 25x + 50
-x^2 - 2x - 1
= x^2 + 23x + 49
This will be the equation for the area.
