We are given the following equation and want to find the possible values of x

Subtract both sides by 3x


Now, we have this weird equation. Since -15 is NOT equal 15 and there is no other way we could have solved for x, there is no real solution to the given equation.
In other words, there is no value of x that makes the equation true.
Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer:
Eq: (x+a/2)²+(y+1)²=(a²-8)/4
Center: O(-a/2, -1)
Radius: r=0.5×sqrt(a²-8)
Mandatory: a>2×sqrt(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The circle with center in O(xo,yo) and radius r has the equation:
(x-xo)²+(y-yo)²=r²
We have:
x²+y²+ax+2y+3=0
But: x²+ax=x²+2(a/2)x+a²/4-a²/4= (x+a/2)²-a²/4
And
y²+2y+3=y²+2y+1+2=(y+1)²+2
Replacing, we get:
(x+a/2)²-a²/4+(y+1)²+2=0
(x+a/2)²+(y+1)²=a²/4-2=(a²-8)/4
By visual inspection we note that:
- center of circle: O(-a/2, -1)
- radius: r=sqrt((a²-8)/4)=0.5×sqrt(a²-8). This means a²>8 or a>2×sqrt(2)
We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(width)+2(length). We can multiply the length by 2 to find out how much remaining fencing we have, then divide that number by 2 to find the width.
15.5*2=31
170.5-31=139.5
139.5/2=69.75
A possible width is 69.75 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:
f(-2)=-2x-3
plug in the -2
f(-2)= -2(-2) -3
multiply it out
f(-2)= 4-3
subtract
f(-2)= 1
