Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Area is equal to
A = l * w
50 = ( x+2) ( x-3)
FOIL
50 = x^2 -3x+2x -6
Combine like terms
50 = x^2 -x -6
Subtract 50 from each side
0 = x^2 -x -56
Factor
What two numbers multiply to -56 and add to -1
-8*7 = -56
-8+7 = -1
0 = ( x-8) ( x+7)
Using the zero product property
x-8 =0 x+7 =0
x = 8 x=-7
Since the length cannot be negative x cannot be negative
x=8
I'd use synthetic div. here, with 2 as my divisor:
________________
2 / 1 -11 18
2 -18
----------------------------
1 -9 0
Note that the coefficients of the missing factor are given here and are 1 and -9. Thus, (x-9) is the missing factor.

250 x 2 = 500 meters

Answer: 20-10
Step-by-step explanation: 486-466 is 20. Half of 20 is 10. Any expression that equals ten is 1/2 as large as 486-466.
