He drove 219.375 miles more on the fist day than the second day.
First simplify the expression into polynomial form,
Now factor into,
Which means the solutions are,
and then two complex solutions because determinant of the third factor ,
Hope this helps :)
Let's say, the amount that each side was increased was "a"
so, it was 5 wide and 12 long, now it's 5+a wide and 12+a long
we know the area is 120, so whatever "a" is, we know that
(5+a)(12+a) = 120
so
use those factors, solve for "a"
Answer:
-2 4x square is the answer
Since we have a negative on the outside of the parenthesis, we can just say that this is -1. So now we have -1(-x + 1). when multiply a negative by a negative it cancels out into a positive. and multiplying a negative with a positive will give you a negative. So now we have x - 1.
