Answer:

Length: 9

Width: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length × width

18 = (x - 5)(x + 2)

18 = x² - 5x + 2x - 10

x² - 3x - 28 = 0

x² - 7x + 4x - 28 = 0

x(x - 7) + 4(x - 7) = 0

(x - 7)(x + 4) = 0

x = 7, -4(not possible)

Length: 7+2 = 9

Width: 7-5 = 2

(x-5)(x+2)= 60

x^2 + 2x - 5x -10 = 60

x^2 -3x -10 = 60

x^2 -3x -70

(x-10)(x+7)

x= 7

Proof:

x + 2

x - 5

Plug in 7.

7 + 2 = 9

7 - 5 = 2

9 x 2 = 18

Ants have 6 legs. Katie and Lukas write equations showing the proportional relationship between the number of ants, a, and the n
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

I agree with Katie because number is legs is directly proportional to the number of ants.

1 ant has 6 legs.

So, 2 ants have 6 *2 = 12

3 ants have 6*3 = 18

The logarithm of a quotient can be written as a difference of logarithms:

\log_3\left(\dfrac uv\right) = \log_3(u) - \log_3(v)

You can also think of this as a combination of the product-to-sum and reciprocal/power properties of logarithms:

\log_3\left(\dfrac uv\right) = \log_3\left(u \times \dfrac1v\right) = \log_3(u) + \log_3\left(\dfrac1v\right) = \log_3(u) - \log_3(v)

To summarize,

\log_b(mn) = \log_b(m)+\log_b(n)

\log_b\left(\dfrac mn\right) = \log_b(m) - \log_b(n)

\log_b\left(m^n\right) = n \log_b(m)
