Answer:
Area = L²-5L
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = length * width
Length = L
Width = L - 5
Area = L * (L-5) = L²-5L

Part A: Describe the two factors in this expression. (4 points) The factors are (1) the constant coefficient 9 and (2) the binomial (7+2x).
Part B: How many terms are in each factor of this expression? (4 points) The first factor (multiplicand), 9, has one term. The second factor (multiplicand), (7+2x), has two terms (and is thus called a binomial).
Part C: What is the coefficient of the variable term? (2 points) The only such coefficient is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3(3w + -5) = 12
Reorder the terms:
3(-5 + 3w) = 12
(-5 * 3 + 3w * 3) = 12
(-15 + 9w) = 12
Solving
-15 + 9w = 12
Solving for variable 'w'.
Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + 15 + 9w = 12 + 15
Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + 9w = 12 + 15
9w = 12 + 15
Combine like terms: 12 + 15 = 27
9w = 27
Divide each side by '9'.
w = 3
Simplifying
w = 3
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
(2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4
Multiply both sides of (2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4 by 5/2:
(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = -4×5/2
5/2×2/5 = (5×2)/(2×5):
(5×2)/(2×5) (3 x - 4) = -4×5/2
5/2 (-4) = (5 (-4))/2:
(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (-4×5)/2
(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (2×5)/(2×5)×(3 x - 4) = 3 x - 4:
3 x - 4 = (-4×5)/2
(-4)/2 = (2 (-2))/2 = -2:
3 x - 4 = 5×-2
5 (-2) = -10:
3 x - 4 = -10
Add 4 to both sides:
3 x + (4 - 4) = 4 - 10
4 - 4 = 0:
3 x = 4 - 10
4 - 10 = -6:
3 x = -6
Divide both sides of 3 x = -6 by 3:
(3 x)/3 = (-6)/3
3/3 = 1:
x = (-6)/3
The gcd of -6 and 3 is 3, so (-6)/3 = (3 (-2))/(3×1) = 3/3×-2 = -2:
Answer: x = -2
