The area of the triangle could be determined by multiplying the length and the width. Since, we are given the area and the length, to find the width, you divide the area by the length:
w = A ÷ l
w = (x2 - 2x - 15) ÷ (x+3)
What do you have to multiply to (x+3) to yield x2 - 2x - 15? That would be x - 5. Since the sum of -5 and 3 = -2 (middle term) and the their product is -15 (last term).
Hence, the width is (x-5).
If I understand you, a person eats about 14 pounds of turkey a year. So we will divide all that turkey (1120 pounds) by 14 to find out how many years.
1,120 ÷ 14 = 80 So it will take 80 years. (Since babies can't eat that much turkey a year it will actually take more than 80 years - or the person can eat more than 14 pounds in some years to make up for their early years when they ate less) I know it's a math question, but I also like to be realistic about it. Who measures the amount of turkey they eat yearly anyway? :-)
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. the cube root is also to the 1/3 power
step 2. (27a^3b^7)^(1/3) = (3*3*3*a*a*a*b*b*b*b*b*b*b)^(1/3)
step 3. a third root: 3 factors in the root comes "out" of the root as 1
step 4. 3ab*b(b)^(1/3) = 3ab^2(b)^(1/3).
