Answer:
x = 2.5 inches. Or
x = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Length: 7 + 2x
Width: 5 + 2x
Note that you have to add x at each end of the picture and onto each part of the width.
The entire area is 120 square inches.
Formula
L*W = Area
(2x + 7)(2x + 5) = 120
Solution
4x^2 + 10x + 14x + 35 = 120 Subtract 120 from both sides. Add xs
4x^2 + 24x + 35 - 120 = 0
4x^2 + 24x - 85 = 0 Factor
(2x + 17)(2x - 5)
2x + 17 has no meaning. It will give - 8.5 which is not possible.
2x - 5 =0
2x = 5 Divide by 2
x = 5/2
x = 2.5
Note: I don't know which one the computer is looking for.
The correct answer is: [C]: " -4 (-2x² - 3x + 4) " .

I think that jeremy should learn how to do his own math
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Probability refers to chance of happening of some event.
Conditional probability is the probability of an event A, given that another event B has already occurred.
denote the two boxes.
In box
:
No. of black balls = 1
No. of white balls = 1
In box
:
No. of black balls = 2
No. of white balls = 1
Let B, W denote black and white marble.
So, probability that either of the boxes
is chosen is 
Probability that a black ball is chosen from box
= 
Probability that a black ball is chosen from box 
To find:probability that the marble is black
Solution:
Probability that the marble is black =
