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 : x= -4
This type of problem, you set them equal to each other. And then solve. Don’t forget you can multiply each side by denominator to eliminate the fraction.

Sent a picture of the solution to the problem (s).
<span>x-intercept, y = 0:
-2x + 8 =0
-2x = -8
x= -8/-2 = 4<span>
y-intercept, x =0
y = 8</span></span>
Answer:
- y-intercept = 100
- x- intercept = -5.26
Step-by-step explanation:
- $100 initial membership fee
- $19 monthly fee
<u>Function of relationship:</u>
<u>y- intercept:</u>
- x =0 ⇒ y = 19*0 + 100 ⇒ y = 100
<u>x - intercept:</u>
- y = 0 ⇒ 0 = 19x + 100 ⇒ 19x = -100 ⇒ x = -100/19 ⇒ x = -5.26
