1. What would be three reforms Mary Wollstonecraft might seek in the governments of the 18th and 19th centuries?

Mary Wollstonecraft would have sought educational reforms, greater professionalization opportunities for women, and better protections for single mothers.

Explanation:

Reforms that Mary Wollstonecraft might have sought in the 18th and 19th centuries are educational reforms to promote more equality between men and women. Wollstonecraft had argued in many of her writings that women were deliberately prevented from studying certain subjects.  She also would have supported reforms that would encourage the professionalization of women. She was an iconoclast and a single mother herself but sadly her own daughters had difficulty in developing their own self-sufficiency after she passed as they were at the mercy of her husband and he remarried. Therefore, another reform would have been to empower children as well in terms of rights to an education and self-sufficiency even when orphaned or when born to single mothers.

x = 7

step-by-step explanation:

equating the expression for area to the given area

2x² - 7x - 4 = 45 ( subtract 45 from both sides )

2x² - 7x - 49 = 0 ← in standard form

to factor consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 49 = - 98 and sum = - 7

the factors are - 14 and + 7

use these factors to split the middle term

2x² - 14x + 7x - 49 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x - 7) + 7(x - 7) = 0 ← factor out (x - 7)

(x - 7)(2x + 7) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

2x + 7 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 7 ⇒ x = -

thus the positive value for x is x = 7
