A rancher has a square cow pen with side length x. He decides to change the shape of the pen while still using the same amount of fencing materials. The equation
(x + 10)(x - 10) = 300 represents the relationship of the new side lengths (in feet)
of the pen and its area (in square feet).
a. If 300 represents the area of the new cow pen, what do the expressions
(x + 10) and (x - 10) each represent?
b. Find x, the original side length (in feet) of the square pen. Show your reasoning.

24: 56

step-by-step explanation:

24 can be divided into 3 and 56 can be divided into 7, where as all the other ratios can't.

option 2 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given two inequality equation

x+y> 5 and -3x+2y< -2

first we draw the graph of both function using t-table method

equation: x+y> 5

for x=0, y=5

for x=-5, y=0

table:

x   :   0     5

y   :   5     0

test point (0,0) , 0> 5

false

equation: -3x+2y< -2

for x=0, y=-1

for x=2, y=4

table:

x   :   0     2

y   : -1       4

test point (0,0) , 0< -2

true

now we draw the graph. see the attachment for graph.

common region would be solution set.

option 2 is correct.

-2

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7
