Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 + 17x +10 =0

(3x+   ) ( x+   ) =0

We need to factor 10  = 2*5  or 1*10

They are positive since we have all positive terms

3*5 = 15+2 = 17

The 5 needs to multiply the 3 so it goes on the outside

(3x+   ) ( x+  5 ) =0

That leaves the 2 on the inside

(3x+ 2  ) ( x+ 5  ) =0

Using the zero product property

3x+2 =0     x+5=0

3x = -2          x=-5

x = -2/3          x = -5

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

You have 1.07 acres in this building lot and you can only build 2 houses.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking at a 260 foot by 180 foot building lot to subdivide and build two houses.

We are given that 1 acre = 43,560 square feet.

In this building plot (260 foot by 180 foot), the area is:

260 * 180 = 46,800 square feet

Hence, the number of acres we have in this lot is:

\frac{46800}{43560} = 1.07

Since your town requires 1/2 acre to build a house, the number of houses that you can build on it will be:

\frac{1.07}{\frac{1}{2} } = 1.07 * 2 = 2.14

Since the number of houses can only be whole number, we approximate to nearest whole number ≅ 2 houses.

You have 1.07 acres in this building lot and you can only build 2 houses.
