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

Answer:

y = 1.6 x

y = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a direct variation is

y = k x

In this case

x = 10

y = 16

y = k*x

16 = 10*k

16/10 =  k

k = 1.6

y = 1.6x

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

Let x = 15

y = 1.6 * 15

y = 24

Christian randomly selects students from his grade to rate a math test as easy, moderate, or difficult. Of the students he surve
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students he surveyed: 27

Amount that found it something OTHER than easy: 14 (11 moderate + 3 difficult)

This means that \frac{14}{27} found it something other than easy

Multiply that by 162 to find the proportion for the larger population:

162 * (14/27), and we get 84.
