This is an odd problem. The length and width look like they should be interchanged. Anyway I'll solve it and we'll talk about the results.
(x +7) (x + 3) = 396
x^2 + 7x + 3x + 21 = 396
x^2 + 10x + 21 = 396 Subtract 21 from both sides.
x^2 + 10x = 396 - 21
x^2 + 10x = 375
x^2 + 10x - 375 = 0 This probably factors.
(x + 25)(x - 15)
x + 25 = 0
x = - 25 which makes no sense. Negatives do not describe room dimensions.
x - 15= 0
x = 15. this is fine.

x+3 = 15 + 3 = 18
x + 7 = 15 + 7= 22

Check
=====
Area = L * W = 18 * 22 = 496. It does check.
22 should be the length

18 should be the width.

If 36a=45/b, then ab=
Ronch [10]

Answer:

1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

let \: a = x \: and \: b = y

36x =  \frac{45}{y}

36xy = 45

xy =  \frac{45}{36}

xy = 1.25

therefore \: ab \: is \: 1.25

If triangle XYZ is reflected across the line y = 1 to create triangle X'Y'Z', what is the ordered pair of X'? 
Vlad1618 [11]

Consider triangle XYZ with vertices at points X(1,-3), Y(3,0) and Z(-1,-1). If triangle XYZ is reflected across the line y = 1, then the rule of reflection is

(x,y)→(x,-y+2).

The image X' of point X will have coordinates according to the given rule:

X(1,-3)→X'(1, -(-3)+2)=X'(1,5).

Answer: correct choice is D.

Explain how solving -7y > 161 is different from solving 7y > - 161
IRISSAK [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

-7y > 161

7y < 161

7÷7=1

161÷7=23

y=23

7y > -161

7÷7=1

-161÷7=-23

y=-23

Which is a factor of the polynomial f(x) = 6x4 – 21x3 – 4x2 + 24x – 35?
QveST [7]
<span>I note that this problem starts out with "Which is a factor of ... "  This implies that you were given several answer choices.  If that's the case, it's unfortunate that you haven't shared them.

I thought I'd try finding roots of this function using synthetic division.  See below:

f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation.  Thanks.

Possible zeros of this poly are factors of 35:  plus or minus 1, plus or minus 5, plus or minus 7.  Use synthetic division; determine whether or not there is a non-zero remainder in each case.  If none of these work, form rational divisors from 35 and 6 and try them:  5/6, 7/6, 1/6, etc.

Provided that you have copied down the function 
</span>f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35  properly, this approach will eventually turn up 1 or 2 zeros of this poly.  Obviously it'd be much easier if you'd check out the possible answers given you with this problem.

By graphing this function, I found that the graph crosses the x-axis at 7/2.  There is another root.

Using synth. div. to check whether or not 7/2 is a root:

         ___________________________
7/2   /   6    -21    -4    24    -35
                   21      0   -14     35           
        ----------- ------------------------------
           6        0     -4    10       0

Because the remainder is zero, 7/2 (or 3.5) is a root of the polynomial.  Thus, (x-3.5), or (x-7/2), is a factor.
