Why is the answer to this C and not E. Don’t you usually keep the negative number negative? Why is this one not left negative?

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² = 7x - 3 ( subtract 7x - 3 from both sides )

x² - 7x + 3 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 1, b = - 7, c = 3

Using the quadratic formula to solve for x

x = ( - (- 7) ± \sqrt{(-7)^2-(4(1)(3)} ) / 2

  = ( 7 ± \sqrt{49-12} ) / 2

  = \frac{7+/-\sqrt{37} }{2} → C

We can use ratios, in other words, if one part of the photo is changed x times, how many times does the other part change?

We can set up the proportion as :
width 1 : length 1 = width 2 : length 2

20 : 30 = 5 : x

We do inverse multiplication, or multiply the outer with outer and inner with inner (W1 * L2 and L1 * W2)

20*x = 30*5
20x = 150
Divide all by 10
2x = 15
Divide all by 2 to isolate x
x = 15/2
x = 7.5cm
