Area = Length * Width = l * w
l = x + 2
w = 2x - 5
Area = (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 56
Area = 2x^2 -x  - 10 = 56
Area = 2x^2 - x - 66 = 0 Now you have to factor this thing.
Area = (2x + 11)( x - 6) = 0 This is more or less done by guessing. 
2x + 11 = 0 can't work. x would be negative.
x - 6 = 0
x = 6.

Check
=====
l = x + 2
l = 6 + 2
l = 8

w = 2*x - 5
w = 2*6 - 5
w = 12 - 5
w = 7

l*w = 8*7 = 56. It checks.

What is the solution to this equation 4x + 2 ( x + 6 ) = 36
Margaret [11]

The answer is A. x=4.


Start off by distributing the parentheses into the equation.

4x+2(x+6)=36

4x+2x+12=26


Combine like terms.

4x+2x=6x

6x+12=36


Now solve the equation as normal. Begin by subtracting 12 from both sides to isolate the variable.

6x+12=36

-12 -12

---------------

6x = 24


Divide 6 on both sides to find x.

6x=24

---- -----

6 6

x=4


The solution to the equation is 4.

The members of a health spa pay annual membership dues of $300 plus a charge of $2 for each visit to the spa. Let Y denote the d
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Y = 300 + 2X

Y( in dollars)

It is a functional relationship because a change in the value of X results in a corresponding change in the value of Y. And does not involve any uncertainty.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Annual fixed due = $300

Variable cost = $2 per visit

X = number of visits in a year

Y = total yearly cost.

Y = annual cost + variable cost

Y = $300 + $2×X

Y = 300 + 2X

Y( in dollars)

It is a functional relationship because a change in the value of X results in a corresponding change in the value of Y. And does not involve any uncertainty.
