Answer:

L = (x - 2) meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle = (x² - 7x + 10) m²

The width = (x - 5) m

length = ?

Area of a rectangle = length × width

x² - 7x + 10 = L(x -5)

note L = length

divide both sides by (x-5)

(x² - 7x + 10)/(x - 5) = L

L = x² - 7x + 10 / (x -5)

Factorize x² - 7x + 10

find the numbers you can multiply to give you 10 and also add to give you -7

The numbers are -2 and -5. Therefore,

x² - 2x - 5x + 10 = 0

x(x - 2) - 5(x - 2) = 0

(x-5)(x-2) = 0

Let us go back to our division

L = x² - 7x + 10 / (x -5)

x² - 7x + 10 = (x-5)(x-2)

L = (x-5)(x-2) / (x -5)

L = (x - 2) meters

Who’s graph show a proportional relationship in which the value of y is one-half of the value of x
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

so

That means it's the equation of a line passing through the origin.

case a) and case d) are discarded because the line does not pass through the origin

<u>case b) we have</u>

for x=2 y=4

y/x=k-------> 4/2=2------> k=2

y=2x-------> in this case the value of y is two times the value of x

<u>case c) we have</u>

for x=4 y=2

y/x=k-------> 2/4=1/2------> k=(1/2)

y=(1/2)x-------> in this case the value of y is one-half of the value of x

therefore

the solution is the case c) see the attached figure
