Answer:

1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(10+2x)(14+2x) = 221

4x² + 48x - 81 = 0

4x² + 54x - 6x - 81 = 0

2x(2x + 27) - 3(2x + 27) = 0

(2x + 27)(2x - 3) = 0

x = -27/2, 3/2

x = 3/2 or 1½ or 1.5 inches

Which of the following is a solution of y - x &lt; -3?<br><br> (6, 2)<br> (2, 6)<br> (2, -1)
Snowcat [4.5K]
Personally I'd solve this inequality for y first:  y < x-3.

That immediately eliminates (6,2) and (2,6).

Starting from y < x-3 and letting 2 sub for x and -1 sub for y, is the following true or false?

-1 < 2 -3     NO.  -1 < -1 is false.  Was there a fourth answer choice?
