Answer:

The area in factored form is A=(x+2)(x-5).

The area in standard form is A=x^2-3x-10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is length times width.

So the area here is (x+2)(x-5).

They are probably not looking for A=(x+2)(x-5) because it requires too little work.

They probably want A in standard form instead of factored form.

Let's use foil:

First x(x)=x^2

Outer: x(-5)=-5x

Inner: 2(x)=2x

Last: 2(-5)=-10

---------------------Adding together:  x^2-3x-10.

The area in factored form is A=(x+2)(x-5).

The area in standard form is A=x^2-3x-10.

Solve 7 ( x + 1 ) + 2 = 5x + 15
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

7(x + 1) + 2 = 5x + 15

~Simplify left side

7x + 7 + 2 = 5x + 15

~Combine like terms

7x + 9 = 5x + 15

~Subtract 9 to both sides

7x = 5x + 6

~Subtract 5x to both sides

2x = 6

~Divide 2 to both sides

x = 3

Best of Luck!

The equation d=4 -1/15t represents your distance from home,d, for each minute you walk,t. If you graphed this equation, determin
Jobisdone [24]
When you graph an equation, it should be dependent variable against the independent variable. For this problem, the independent variable is the time, so this is along the x-axis. The dependent variable is d, so this is along the y-axis. Since the slope is Δy/Δx, then it is also equivalent to Δd/Δt. Therefore, the answer is B.
