The dimensions would be x and x+6. The area is 216.

x(x+6) = 216
x^2 + 6x - 216 = 0
(x-12)(x+18) = 0

x = 12---Yes---
x = -18---No, sides cannot be negative---

If one side is 12, the other side is 18. To check:

12 * 18 = 216
216 = 216

Correct

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

d. 52.5 million cases

Step-by-step explanation:

from the data output in the question, we have the regression equation to be

log y = -151.281 + 0.076577x

y is the number of hiv cases which is in millions

x is the year of the hiv case

x = 1998

we put the value of x in the regression equation

log y = -151.281 + 0.076577(1998)

log y = -151.281 + 153.000846

log y = 1.719846

since the result is in log form,

$y=10^{1.791846}$

y = 52.5 million cases
