d. x = 2, DF = 7, EG = 7
 
DF is equivalent to EG; Therefore, the equation would be like this:

5x - 3 = x + 5
Transfer 3 and x to their opposite side and change their signs.

5x - x = 5 + 3
4x = 8
Find x. Divide both sides by 4.

4x / 4 = 8 / 4
x = 2

Subsitute x in the equation to find the length of each diagonal.

DF = 5x - 3 = 5(2) - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7 ; DF = 7
EG = x + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7 ; EG = 7

Answer: d. x = 2, DF = 7, EG = 7
Solution:
by ratio:  DF : EG
                5x - 3 = x + 5
Solving for x:
               
5x -x = 5 + 3
                 x = 2
Substituting x=2 in the expression
               DF = 5x -3 = 5(2) - 3 = 7
               EG = x + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7

The daily advertising revenue (in dollars) for a local newspaper is given by the function R(t) = -18t2 + 720t – 103, where t is
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

6647

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the advertising revenue for 15 years is shown below:

Given that

r(t) = -18t^2 + 720t - 103

where

t = number of years = 15

now put the value of t in the above equation

= -18(15)^2 + 720(15) - 103

= -4050 + 10,800 - 103

= 6647
