Answer:
x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that x^2 -6x-7 is the product of two binomials.
We can solve this two ways, but the easier way is to simply factor rather than divide the area by width.
Two numbers, one of which being -7 allows for the sum of -6 and the product of -7.
Using this information, we can identify the other number is 1, so the length is x+1.
For this case what you should know is that both functions are of the potential type.
We have then that
y = 2 * 2 ^ x This function grows exponentially upwards.
y = -2 * 5 ^ x This function grows exponentially downwards.

Remark
There is no short way to do this problem and no obvious way to get the answer other that to solve each part.
Solve
A
Multiply by 2
x + 1.6 = 2(x + 0.1) Remove the brackets
x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.1*2
x + 1.6 = 2x + 0.2 Subtract x from both sides
1.6 = x + 0.2 Subtract 0.2 from both sides
1.6 - 0.2 = x
1.4 = x
Circle A
B
Subtract 2x from both sides.
3x - 2x = 1.4
Circle B
C
Remove the brackets.
4x + 6 = 2x - 6 Add 6 to both sides
4x + 12 = 2x Subtract 4x from both sides.
12 = -2x Divide by - 2
12/-2 = x
x = - 6 Don't circle C
D
I'm going to be very scant in my solution of this. You can fill in the steps.
3x = 4.2
x = 4.2/3
x = 1.4
Circle D
