Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A = x² - 5x - 14

Factor using AC method. Here, a = 1, b = -5, and c = -14.

ac = 1×-14 = -14

Factors of -14 that add up to -5 are -7 and 2.

A = (x - 7)(x + 2)

So the dimensions are x-7 and x+2.

Answer:

option a) 30 : 19

Step-by-step explanation:

$Length = 7 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{15}{2}\\\\Width = 4\frac{3}{4} = \frac{19}{4}$

Ratio of length to width:

$\frac{15}{2} : \frac{19}{4}$

$=\frac{\frac{15}{2}}{\frac{19}{4}}\\\\=\frac{15}{2 } \times \frac{4}{19}\\\\=15\times \frac{2}{19}\\\\=\frac{30}{19}\\\\30 : 19$

3/4 (x-16) -5=15 solve for x

sergey [27]

3/4x-12-5=15
3/4x-17=15
3x-68=60
3x=60+68
3x=128
X=128/3

Please help me with questions 23, 24, and 25

alekssr [168]

Problem 23
A = 40
B = 3x+1
C = 3x+1
B and C are congruent, so they have the same angle measure

The three angles of any triangle add to 180 degrees
A+B+C = 180
40+(3x+1)+(3x+1) = 180
6x+42 = 180
6x = 180-42
6x = 138
x = 138/6
x = 23

Answer: B) 23

============================================================

Problem 24

AB is the midsegment parallel to XY
So AB is half that of XY
AB = (1/2)*XY
AB = (1/2)*28
AB = 14

Answer: B) 14

============================================================

Problem 25

Note the ratio of the given rectangle's sides: 7/12 = 0.583 roughly

Divide the answer choices in a similar fashion
A) 5/7 = 0.714
B) 14/36 = 0.389
C) 21/36 = 0.583
D) 21/48 = 0.4375

We get the same result in choice C as we did in the original rectangle

Answer: C) 21 ft x 36 ft
