Answer:
x = -0.683 (3dp)
x = -7.317 (3dp)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Apply the quadratic formula</u>
(-b±(
)) / 2a
a = 1 <em>(x²)</em>
b = 8 <em>(8x)</em>
c = 5 <em>(5)</em>
(-8±(
)) / 2 x 1
<u>Step 2: Simplify</u>
(-8±(
)) / 2
<u>Step 3: Solve</u>
You need to replace the ± with first a + and then a -.
(-8+(
)) / 2 = -0.683 (3dp) = x
(-8-(
)) / 2 = -7.317 (3dp) = x

Find a common denominator between the two (this case it would be 18) and bring the fractions up, so 10/9 would be 20/18, and 3/2 would be 27/18. Then, multiply across, and simplify to lowest terms.
Answer: 265.9167 square inches (rounded)
Step-by-step explanation:
Shoot, okay if this is wrong, shame on me:
All you do is find the areas of each rectangle and add them together.
(12 × 13 1/3) + (10 1/4 x 10 1/3) = 265.9167 (rounded) square inches. Or as a fraction: 3191/12
