2x^2 - 3 = -4x - 1
2x^2 + 4x - 3 + 1 = 0
2^2 + 4x - 2 = 0 <==
First and mainly keep that 9 one side,
There are 2 people involved Ann and Betty, Then divide the TOTAL AMOUNT BY THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
· Then it will look like $60÷2= $30 per person.
In this case everyone has equal amount of money, but the question say Ann has $9 more than Betty's. so, Ann≈ $30 +$9= $39.
Betty≈ $30-$9= $21
Because loses money because Ann has more,
TOTAL=Ann+Betty
$60= $39+$21
The figure is a rectangle so the formula is area = length *width
So the area is 432
If you are looking for the answer to the question above you have to ask yourself what two numbers multiply to 30 and equal 17 when added up. We halve the perimeter to make this easier. So your answer is 15 and 2 because 15 *2=30. If the sides are 15 and 2 then, 15(2) +2(2)=34. There is your answer.
