Hello!
To find the area of a rectangle you do length * width
You can plug in the values you know
(x - 2) * 5 = 30
Divide both sides by 5
x - 2 = 6
Add 2 to both sides
x = 8
The answer is 8
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Option D (7, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the general equation of an ellipse has the form:

Where the point (h, k) are the coordinates of the center of the ellipse
In this case the equation of the ellipse is:

Then

So The coordinates of the center of the ellipse are (7, -3)
The answer to your question would be: Because 4 + (-7) is an equivalent expression, your answer is -3. The reason for this can be described using integers. So lets say you have $4. You owe your brother $7. Since you don't have enough to pay him, you can pay him all your money, but you still have to pay him $3 more. This means technically your balance is $-3, cause if he needs the money, the second you get it he will ask for it. Sorry if this isn't too great of an example, not sure what else I could think of. Pretty much remember when subtracting a number, you can add the negative of the number, because that is the same thing. Hope this helps.
