So 7 x = x2 -18 so you get the quadratic x^2 -7x -18 and then get 2 x -9= -18 and 2 + -9 = -7 so you get (x + 2) ( x - 9) so the positive solution would be x-9 = 0 so x= 9. Hope this helps :)

I believe the answer is c
a.
<K = <M = 50 ...Opposite angels are congruent
<K + <L = 180...Consecutive angles are supplementary
50 + <L = 180 so <L = 180 - 50 = 130
<L = <N = 130...Opposite angels are congruent
50 + <N = 180 so <N = 180 - 50 = 130
b.
MN = LK = 7...Opposite sides are congruent
KN = LM = 10...Opposite sides are congruent
122.5.
A=b x h/2. A=122.5 b=7
A x b=h
122.5 x 7 =122.5
