Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 1/2 * 2b * (5b - 7)

Area = 1/2 * 2b * (5b - 7) = 24

b * (5b - 7) = 24

5b^2 - 7b = 24

5b^2 - 7b - 24= 0

(b- 3 )(5b + 8) = 0

b = 3                    This the only solution that works.  b can't be minus

The base is 2b or 2 * 3 = 6

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x + 3) = 15

Distribute the -5

-5x -15 =15

Add 15 to each side

-5x-15+15 =15+15

-5x = 30

Divide each side by -5

-5x/-5 = 30/-5

x =-6
