Let W = width and L = length  length is 3 less than twice width  ==>  L = 2*W - 3 Area = L*W = (2*W-3)*W = 14 
2*W^2 -3*W - 14 = 0
(2W - 7)*(W + 2) = 0 
2W - 7 = 0  or  W + 2 = 0
W = 7/2  or  W = -2
Width cannot be negative so W = 7/2 = 3.5
So L = 2*(7/2) - 3 = 7 - 3 = 4 The length is 4 m and the width is 3.5 m   Check:  2*(3.5) - 3 = 4, length is 3 less than twice width
 
Area = L*W = 4*3.5 = 14 m^2

Math help will give brainliest what is X and M angle A
Anna [14]
Supplementary = 180 degrees...

A + B = 180

3x + 12 + 7x + 38 = 180

10x + 50 = 180

10 x = 130

x = 13 

To find the A just substitute x in...

 
3 ( 13) + 12  

A = 51

To check substitute the x..

A + B = 180

3(13) + 12 + 7(13) + 38 = 180
        51 + 129 = 180
            180 = 180

What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation 2x + 5x2 = 1?
Murrr4er [49]
5x^2+2x-1=0

Delta equation is:

\Delta =\frac{-b\pm\sqrt(b^2-4ac)}{2a}

but we are interested in b^2-4ac because it determines the discriminant

5^2-4*2*(-1)=25+8=33

33>0

which means that discriminant is positive :)
