Answer:

Length = 2x + 5

Width = x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = length × width

Expression for area of the rectangle = 2x² + 11x + 15

Factorising the quadratic expression

2x² + 11x + 15 = 2x² + 6x + 5x + 15 = (2x² + 6x) + (5x + 15) = 2x(x + 3) +5(x + 3) = (2x + 5)(x + 3)

Length = 2x + 5

Width = x + 3

Answer:

Graph C

Step-by-step explanation:

y = .7x

For a direct variation, we know that the line has to go through the origin (0,0)

This eliminates graphs b and d. We also know that the slope is .7

When x = 1, y = .7. This eliminates graph a, because when x=1 y =1. This leaves us graph c
