Answer:

x = 2 or x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² - 15 = 5

⇌

5x² = 15 + 5

⇌

5x² = 20

⇌

x² = 20/5 = 4

⇌

x² = 2²

⇌

x² - 2² = 0

⇌

(x - 2)(x + 2) = 0

⇌ we use the zero product property

x - 2 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

⇌

x = 2 or x = -2

A programmer wants to display how the shape of a rectangle with a fixed perimeter of 300 inches can be changed by varying the re

stiv31 [10]

If the rectangle has a fixed width of 300, it means that

$2(l+w)=300 \iff l+w=150 \iff w=150-l$

where $w$ and $l$ are width and length, respetively.

So given the length $l$ , the are would be

$l\times w = l\times (150-l)=-l^2+150l$
