We start with

and wish to write it as

First, pull 2 out from the first two terms:

Let’s look at what is in parenthesis. In the final form this needs to be a perfect square. Right now we have

and we can obtain -10x by adding -5x and -5x. That is, we can build the following perfect square:

The “problem” with what we just did is that we added to what was given. Let’s put the expression together. We have

and when we multiply that out it does not give us what we started with. It gives us

So you see our expression is not right. It should have a -53 but instead has a -3. So to correct it we need to subtract another 50.
We do this as follows:

which gives us the final expression we seek:

If you multiply this out you will get the exact expression we were given. This means that:
a = 2
d = -5
e = -103
We are asked for the sum of a, d and e which is 2 + (-5) + (-103) = -106
5x - y = 1/4; this equation is written in slope - intercept form
Slope - Intercept form formula: y = mx + b
-Move '5x' to the left side of the equation
-Move 'y' to the right side of the equation
y = 5x - 1/4
Answer:
$4.85n = $24.52 where n = 5
If this doesnt match any of the equations, see if you can add the answer choices to your question
Answer: x > 5
Step-by-step explanation: To solve for <em>x</em> in this inequality, our goal is the same as it would be if this were an equation, to get x by itself on one side.
Since 3 is being subtracted from x, we add 3 to
both sides of the inequality to get x > 5.
When graphing x > 5, we have an open circle on 5 and the
open circle tells us that 5 is not part of our answer.
Then we draw an arrow going to the right to represent
all possible solutions to this inequality, any number greater than 5.
Answer:
Length, l = 11 ft.
Width, w = 9 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given data, the area of the rectangle = 99 ft².
Area of the rectangle = Length, l X Width, w
Here, Length, l = 7 more than twice the width
⇒ Length, l = 7 + 2w
Therefore, Area, A = 99 = (7 + 2w)w
⇒ 99 = 7w + 2w²
⇒ 2w² + 7w - 99 = 0
Solve the Quadratic equation using the formula: x =
for the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0.
Therefore, w = 


Since,
we get:

This gives two values of 'w', viz., w =
, 

⇒ w =
, -9.
We take the integer values.
If w = -9, then l = 2(-9) + 7
⇒ l = - 18 + 7 = - 11
Therefore, the length, l of the rectangle = - 11 ft.
and the width, w of the rectangle = - 9 ft.
Hence, the answer.
