It's unlikely that it the dimensions are either 14 and 1 in front of the x or 6 and 1 for the 6, but this is math, so you never know. I would try 7 and 2 and 3 and 2 and see what comes of it.

(7x        2)(2x     3 ) That looks promising. We'll put the 3 with the 2x. That leaves us with the signs. We need 17 to  be minus

(7x        2)(2x - 3) that gives you - 21 x So the 2 with the seven has to be plus.

(7x + 2)(2x - 3) should be the the factored answer.
7x + 2 = 0 has no meaning. Measurements cannot be minus.

2x - 3 = 0
2x = 3
x = 3/2

If there are choices, please list them.  That's as far as is possible.

Which expression is represented by the phrase"the square of x increased by the product of 8 and x
m_a_m_a [10]
"The square of x" means x^2, so we can eliminate options A and D.

"product of 8 and x" means that 8 and x are multiplied together (like 8x)

If x^2 is increased by 8x, we are adding x^2 and 8x together.

<span>B. x^2 + 8x</span>

A boy pulls the handle of a lawn mower at an angle of 30° to the horizontal with a force
ella [17]

If the mower is pulled over a flat horizontal surface, then first get the component of the force in the direction of the mower's displacement:

(120 N) cos(30°) = 60 √3 N ≈ 103.923 N

Then the work done by the boy on the mower over a distance of 12.8 m is

(103.923 N) (12.8 m) ≈ 1330.2 Nm ≈ 1330 J
