Answer:
b .
Area=(x-5) (x-3)
Area = x^2 -8x+15
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:
Area of a rectangle = width x length
The original length and width was x, so if the stage needs to be 5 feet narrower and 3 feet shorter.
x-5
x-5
The formula is:
A=(x-5) (x-3)
Solving:
A = (x.x) + (x.-3) + (-5.x)+ (-5.-3)
A = x^2 -3x -5x+15
A = x^2 -8x+15
Answer:
a,c
Step-by-step explanation:
First, make 6 1/3 a improper fraction:

. Now we have 19/3*7/3:

.
Answer: f(x)= 2x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given information we can come up with two points that will be use to find the slope and y-intercept.
If you input 0 you get -3 so the point will be (0,-3)
If you input 7 you get 11 so the point will be (7,11)
Now use the points to find the difference in their y coordinates and divide it by the difference in their x coordinates to find the slope.
y coordinates: -3 - 11 = -14
x coordinates: 0 - 7 = -7
-14/-7 = 2
Since the slope is two, we will use the slope intercept formula (y = mx +b) to find the b which is the y intercept.
Use one of the points and input its x and y coordinates into the formula including the slope to solve for b.
-3= 2(0) +b
-3 = 0 + b
b = -3
f(x) is the same as y in the formula, meaning that the equation will be
f(x) = 2x -3
