Question 519019: the area of a rectangular swimming pool is given by 2x^2+x-10ft^2. One side of the pool is given by 2x+5ft. what is an algebraic expression for the other side length of the pool. simplify this include correct units as part of your answer. Answer by Maths68(1474) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x^2+x-10ft^2.
One side = 2x+5ft
other side = ?
2x^2+x-10
=2x^2+5x-4x-10
=2x^2+5x-4x-10
=x(2x+5)-2(2x+5)
=(x-2)(2x+5)
Other side = x-2 feet
