It's a quadratic equation. Solve it through factorisation.
5s^2 - 14s - 3 = 0
(5s + 1)(s - 3) = 0
5s + 1 = 0
or
s - 3 = 0
Therefore
s = -1/5
or
s = 3
I got 288 but that could be wrong. graduated a while ago. hope it helps though.
Answer:
The distance, in feet, between the strip = 12 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached in relation with the question, we can deduce that crosswalk is a parallelogram where
CD/AB = CE/AE
CD = 40
CE = 50
AE = 15
Let AB = x
50x = 15 × 40
X = 12
The distance, in feet, between the strip is therefore 12 feet
the answer is
d. rational
