The answer is b -3.6 hope this helps and god bless my friend
length = 4 yards and width = 3.5 yards
let width be w then length is 2w - 3
area = w(2w - 3) = 14 (rearrange in standard form )
2w² - 3w - 14 = 0 ← in standard form
(2w - 7 )(w + 2 ) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for w
2w - 7 = 0 ⇒ w = 3.5
w + 2 = 0 ⇒ w = - 2
but w > 0, hence w = 3.5
width = 3.5 yards and length = (2 × 3.5 ) - 3 = 4 yards
Answer: x=−3 or x=−5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Factor left side of equation.
(x+3)(x+5)=0
Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.
x+3=0 or x+5=0
x=−3 or x=−5
Answer:
The change in temperature from last week to this week=3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the change in temperature from last week to this week, we need to take last week's temperature and subtract it from this week's temperature.
For example;
Change in temperature=This week's temperature-last week's temperature
where;
This week's temperature=-2.25
last week's temperature=1.25
replacing;
Change in temperature=(1.25)-(-2.25)=1.25+2.25=3.5
The change in temperature from last week to this week=3.5
