Answer:

(x + 7)(2x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² + 17x + 21

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 2 × 21 = 42 and sum = + 17

The factors are + 14 and + 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 14x + 3x + 21 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2x(x + 7) + 3(x + 7) ← factor out (x + 7) from each term

= (x + 7)(2x + 3) ← in factored form

A rectangle is drawn so that the width is 2 feet shorter than the length. The area of the rectangle is 3 feet square

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

length =3 feet

width = 1feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length be x

the width = x-2

area = length * width

3 = x*(x-2)

3 = $x^{2}$ - 2x

$x^{2} -2x-3 =0$ $x^{2} +x -3x -3 =0$

$x(x+1)-3(x+1) =0$

(x-3)(x+1)=0

x -3=0

x=3

thus,

the length =x =3 feet

the width =x-2 =3-2 = 1feet

Write an equation of the line that passes through the points (-2,-3) and (1,-3)

Nastasia [14]

I learned this so many times but I forgot how to do it exactly.

But looking at this, you can already determine that y is equal to -3 so couldn't you use that as an answer.
