Area of triangle=1/2(base×height)
360=1/2((4x-2)(7x+5))
720=(4x-2)(7x+5)
FOIL the binomial
720=28x^2+6x-10
Bring 720 to the other side
28x^2+6x-10-720=0
28x^2+6x-730=0
Factor 2 out
2(14x^2+3x-365)=0
Factor 2(14x+73)(x-5)=0
x-5=0
x=5
It can't be 14x-73=0 because the length can't be negative.
You're welcome.
Radius = 24.49
Hope this helps! (If not sorry!)

x-3 and x+5 we can't do anything with so next
5(x-3)=5x-15
2(x+5)=2x+10
5x-15+2=5x-13
(2x+10-9)=2x+1
(5x-13)-3(2x+1)
-3(2x+1)=-6x-3
5x-13-6x-3=-x-16
4(-x-16)=-4x-64
the answer is -4x-64
