Answer:
x = -1,5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² - 8x - 10
2x² - 10x + 2x - 10
2x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5)
(x - 5)(2x + 2)
x = 5 x = -2/2
x = -1,5

Answer:
<em>97.5 sq. ft.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Im presuming the question asks to find area of the shaded region.
First of all, the total figure is a rectangle. We can write an expression(in words) for the shaded area.
<em>Shaded Area = Area of Rectangle - Area of Small Triangle(White) - Area of Large Triangle(White)</em>
Now, we find respective areas.
Area of rectangle:
length * width = (5+10) * (12) = 15 * 12 = 180
Area of Small Triangle (white):
A = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 5 * (12-3) = (1/2) * 5 * 9 = 22.5
Area of Large Triangle (white):
A = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 10 * (12) = 60
Now, we find area of shaded region:
<em>Shaded Area = Area of Rectangle - Area of Small Triangle(White) - Area of Large Triangle(White)</em>
<em>Shaded Area = 180 - 22.5 - 60 = 97.5 sq. ft.</em>
Answer:
x = 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
-9(x - 5) = x + 22 1/2
Distribute the nine and then add 9x to both sides
-9x + 45 = x +22 1/2
+ 9x + 9x
Then try to get x alone
45 = 10x + 22 1/2
-22 1/2 -22 1/2
22.5 = 10x
2.25 = x
