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

Bobby read a total of 20 books over 2 months. If Bobby has read 90 books so far, how many months has he been with his book club?
tatuchka [14]

Step 1

From the question;

\begin{gathered} Bobby\text{ reads 20 books in 2 months} \\  \end{gathered}

We are required to find how many months it will take him to read 90 books

Step 2

We will use the ratio below to solve the problem.

\begin{gathered} \frac{20\text{ books}}{90\text{ books}}=\frac{2months}{x} \\ x=months\text{ to read 90books} \\ x=\frac{90\times2}{20} \\ x=9\text{ months} \end{gathered}

Answer; It will take Bobby 9months to read 90 booj

9\text{ months}

The slope of the line below is -5 which of the following is the point-slope form of the line (2,-8)
insens350 [35]
The point slope form has the following syntax.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)
m = slope = -5 
y - y_1 = -5(x - x_1)
(x,y) = (2,-8)
x_1 = 2
y_1 = -8
y - y_1 = -5(x - x_1)
y - (-8) = -5(x - 2)
y + 8 = -5(x - 2)  <------Answer
