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:

The -1 came from factoring.

The equation is multiplied by 8 because 8 could be pulled from 16x-8.

16 can be divided by 8 2 times and 8 can only divided by 8 once.

so factoring it makes the equation 8(2x-1)

What is the slope of the line that goes through the points (7,10) and (3,-3)

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Ypu would subtract Y from the other points Y
$- 3 - 10 = - 13$
Then you would subtract X from the ither points X.
$3 - 7 = - 4$
Then you would put the Y value over the X
$\frac{ - 13}{ - 4}$
Then simiplify
$\frac{13}{4}$

The difference between 11.0 and 12.5 is 1.5 and same with 12.5 and 14.0, so 1.5 is what the hair increases by every THREE months but if you want to find PER month, you are going to divide 1.5 by those 3 months to get .5 inches per month, so your slope will be 1/2
