Ok any more details or is that the question?
Answer:
Area of the base = 
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that volume of rectangular prism = (Area of base) x (Height)
or [Area of base] = [Volume]/[Height]
So basically we need to divide given area by given height to find the answer.
given height is (x+2) that means (x+2) must be factor of volume equation
or x=-2 must be root of volume equation so write down coefficients of volume equation then we divide by -2 as shown in attached picture.
Last digit on the right is always remainder.
Remaining coefficients {2, 5, -18} will give the area equation: 
Hence final answer is:
Area of the base = 
Answer:
1. rational number
2. a positive rational number
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a simple fraction. When two rational numbers are multiplied together, the only logical answer would be for the outcome/product to also be rational.
The reciprocal of a positive rational number is also a positive rational number because if the original number was negative, the reciprocal would also be negative since the signs wouldn't change (in this case, the original number is positive). Since the original number is already a rational number, just by flipping it (the reciprocal), it would not change to an irrational, but instead stay the same.
TheProfessor35's answer is correct, but here's a step by step as you asked. PEMDAS stands from Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction. So, in the problem, you first solve the part inside the parentheses. Are there exponents? No, so we move on. Anything need to be multiplied? Yes, 20.3 x 0.7. That gives us 14.21. Now, there is nothing left in the parentheses to be divided, added, or subtracted, so we move on to the outside. We multiply 14.21 by 7 and get 99.47.
