Answer:
-72
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum is adding so I just did substitution for this. 26+-72=-46 because a positive plus a negative equals a negative.
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
1)B -26-27x
steps :distribute ,-9 times 3 =-27 , -9 times 3x = -27x , now combine like terms :you have a 1 and a -27 ,1-27=-26,and you left with -27
2)D 11-49x
steps :distribute , positive 7 times 1= 7 and then positive 7 times negative 7x =-49, now combine like terms ,since you have a positive 4 combine it with positive 7 which is 11 and finally put it together with -49x which it would look like 11-49x
