(x+2)(2x-5)=56
2x^2-5x+4x-10=56
2x^2-x-10=56
2x^2-x-66=0
2x^2-12x+11x-66=0
2x(x-6)+11(x-6)=0
(2x+11)(x-6)=0, since x is a measurement x>0 so:
x=6cm
Answer:
puppies - 22
Step-by-step explanation:
since the ratio is 2:3, there are 5 parts in total. (2+3=5)
55/5=11 then multiply by parts

Answer:
Bill got more ($1.62) for each pound exchanged than did Gwyll ($1.56).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's calculate the unit rate in each case, that is, the number of dollars obtained through exchanging one (1) pound for dollars:
Bill:
$729
--------- = $1.62 per pound

£500
Bill got more ($1.62) for each pound exchanged than did Gwyll ($1.56).
