Since x represents the length (in meters), the width, which is 7 meters greater, is x +7. The product of these dimensions is the area (in square meters):
x(x +7) = 170
In standard form, the quadratic is ...
x² +7x -170 = 0
The answer would be -15.74
Answer:
the 1 mile and 3,218 meters in step 1 should be switched
y=7x-5 This is the same as saying y-7x = -5 Well easy. You just make up numbers that make this work. Let x be 1 y-7=-5 y=-5+7 y=2 So one ordered pair is (1,2) Let x=2 y-14=-5 y=9 So another ordered pair is (2,9) Let x=3 y-21=-5 y=-5+21 y=16 So another ordered pair is (3,16)
hope it helps
