Question

Plz help me with this

Answer 1

Area of triangle=1/2(base×height)
360=1/2((4x-2)(7x+5))
720=(4x-2)(7x+5)
FOIL the binomial
720=28x^2+6x-10
Bring 720 to the other side
28x^2+6x-10-720=0
28x^2+6x-730=0
Factor 2 out
2(14x^2+3x-365)=0
Factor 2(14x+73)(x-5)=0
x-5=0
x=5
It can't be 14x-73=0 because the length can't be negative.
You're welcome.
