Answer:
(x, y) = (-3, -13) or (-8, -23)
Step-by-step explanation:
The values for y can be equated and the resulting quadratic solved by factoring.
2x -7 = x^2 +13x +17
0 = x^2 +11x +24 . . . . . . subtract 2x-7
0 = (x +8)(x +3) . . . . . . . .factor*
The values of x that make these factors zero are x=-8 and x=-3. The corresponding values of y are ...
y = 2(-8) -7 = -23
y = 2(-3) -7 = -13
The solutions are ...
(x, y) = (-8, -23) and (-3, -13)

* The constants in the binomial factors are factors of 24 that total 11. You know that ...
24 = 1×24 = 2×12 = 3×8 = 4×6
The sums of these factors are 25, 14, 11, 10. The factors 3 and 8 are the constants in the binomial factors of the quadratic.
"24" is the constant in the quadratic. "11" is the coefficient of the x term.
Answer:
The scale factor for the resultant rectangle is units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given two rectangles with sides 3 units and 7.5 units.
We have to find the scaling factors so that we can obtain bigger rectangle of 7.5 units from smaller rectangle of 3 units.
Scale factor is defined as the ratio of corresponding side of given figure to the corresponding side of resulting figure.
That is
Here,
Hence, the scale factor for the resultant rectangle is units.
