The area of the triangle could be determined by multiplying the length and the width. Since, we are given the area and the length, to find the width, you divide the area by the length:

w = A ÷ l
w = (x2 - 2x - 15) ÷ (x+3)

What do you have to multiply to (x+3) to yield x2 - 2x - 15? That would be x - 5. Since the sum of -5 and 3 = -2 (middle term) and the their product is -15 (last term).

Hence, the width is (x-5).

A man earned x pesos in 10 days and spent y pesos during each of those days. Write an expression to determine how many pesos he
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:  \dfrac{x}{10}-y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A man earned x pesos in 10 days and spent y pesos during each of those days.

i.e. Total earning in 10 days = x

Earning per day =\dfrac{x}{10}    [By unitary method]    (1)

Money spent per day =y      (2)

We know that

\text{Savings = Money earned - Money spent}

i.e. Subtract (2) from (1), we get

\text{Savings = }\dfrac{x}{10}-y

Hence, the expression to determine how many pesos he saved per day will be:-

\dfrac{x}{10}-y

Brilliant_brown [7]
For this case we have a function of the form:
 y = A * (b) ^ t
 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: growth rate
 t: time
 Substituting values we have:
 y = 1000 * (3) ^ ((1/8) * t)
 For 24 years we have:
 y = 1000 * (3) ^ ((1/8) * 24)
 y = 27000
 Answer:
 
D) 27,000; exponential
