So 7 x = x2 -18 so you get the quadratic x^2 -7x -18 and then get 2 x -9= -18 and 2 + -9 = -7 so you get (x + 2) ( x - 9) so the positive solution would be x-9 = 0 so x= 9. Hope this helps :)
To solve for the other leg, you need to use Pythagorean theory.
The theory states that C^2 = A^2 + B^2
In your case, you have to solve for B.
C = 40 (hypotenuse) A = 24 (leg 1)
The formula rewritten for B is

Now, you can solve.

Therefore, B = 32.
So the second leg is 32 feet.
1/6 yards. All you have to do is add the two upper numbers (numerator) ans then subtract 6/6 - 5/6
Y=(-x*x)-4x+3
y=-(x^2+4x-3)
4+y=-(x^2+4x+4)+3
y+4=-(x-2)^2.) +3
-4. -4
y=-((x-2)^2)-1
