Area = Length * Width = l * w
l = x + 2
w = 2x - 5
Area = (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 56
Area = 2x^2 -x - 10 = 56
Area = 2x^2 - x - 66 = 0 Now you have to factor this thing.
Area = (2x + 11)( x - 6) = 0 This is more or less done by guessing.
2x + 11 = 0 can't work. x would be negative.
x - 6 = 0
x = 6.
Check
=====
l = x + 2
l = 6 + 2
l = 8
w = 2*x - 5
w = 2*6 - 5
w = 12 - 5
w = 7
l*w = 8*7 = 56. It checks.

Answer:
a = -2
b = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
5a+3b=11
-2a+3=b
substitute for b:
5a + 3(-2a + 3) = 11
5a -6a + 9 = 11
-a = 2
a = -2
b = 7
3a + 3b, for a=2 and b=4 ... The first thing you'd do would be to plug the numbers in -
3 x 2 + 3 x 4
Then multiply them -
6 + 12
Then add -
18.
So your answer should be 18.
You can get E real quick
how? you know that D is 90 and f is given 66 and you know that D+E+F=180 so E=180-(90+66) which gives us 24
