Answer:

  (a)  10x^2−x−21

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula ...

  A = LW . . . . . where L is the length, and W is the width

__

The area of the given rectangle will be ...

  A = (2x -3)(5x +7)

This product is simplified using the distributive property to eliminate parentheses. Then like terms are combined.

  A = 2x(5x +7) -3(5x +7)

  = (2x)(5x) +(2x)(7) -3(5x) -3(7)

  = 10x^2 +14x -15x -21

  A = 10x^2 -x -21

The expression 10x^2 -x -21 represents the area of the rectangle in square inches.

icang [17]

Using proportions, it is found that the Customer Acquisition Cost was of $1,215.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In this problem, the customer acquisition cost is the spending in sales divided by the number of customers added.

80 customers were added, considering costs of 1200 + 9000 + 87000 = $97,200, hence:

97200/80 = $1,215.
