Answer:

x = 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write equations for length and width using the information given:

length = 2 + x

width = 2x - 5

Area = (length)(width) = 56

Area = (2 + x)(2x - 5) = 4x - 10 + 2x² - 5x

Simplifying:

Area = 2x² - x - 10 = 56

2x² - x - 66 = 0

Factoring:

(2x + 11)(x - 6) = 0

x = 6, -11/2

We choose the positive number: x = 6 cm

To check, plug in 6 for x:

Area = (2 + x)(2x - 5) = 56

(2 + 6)(12 - 5) = 56

(8 × 7) = 56

56 = 56

Answer:

8 small tables

Step-by-step explanation:

they told you they have 5 large tables that seat 10 guests and 98 guests are coming. You need to subtract 50 from 98 because after you multiple how many guests can sit at each large table by how many large tables they have it equals 50 so 98-50=48 then you need to divide 48 by six because each small table sits six people so 48/6=8 so you need 8 small tables.

A line passes through the points (–3, –4) and (6, 2)
erastova [34]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line through these points intersects the x-axis at x=3.

The x-intercept is (3, 0).

_____

The x-intercept can be computed from ...

  x-intercept = x1 -y1(x2 -x1)/(y2 -y1)

  = -3 -(-4)(6-(-3))/(2-(-4)) = -3 +4(9/6) = -3 +6

  x-intercept = 3

__

Here, it is simple enough to plot the points and see where the line crosses the x-axis.
