So with this, you'll be using a proportion to solve it. And here's what your equation will look like:

Firstly, you'll need to cross-multiply. Your equation will look like this: 
For this, all you need to do is square root, and your answer is
, however this answer can be simplified further.

In short, your answer is 
Answer: x = square root of -x + 3 / 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 + x - 1 = 2
add 1 to both sides
2x^2 + x = 3
subtract x from both sides
2x^2 = -x + 3
square root both sides
2x = square root of -x + 3
divide by 2
x = square root of -x + 3 / 2
Answer:
9.83
Step-by-step explanation:
x2 + 4x- 59 = 0 +59
x2 + 4x = 59
6x=59
6x/6 = 59/6
x=9.83
Since it is by square foot, and you are paying by square foot, just multiply the two numbers together
23 x 3200 = 73600
your answer is D) 73600
hope this helps
