Anewspaper editor typically spends 60 minutes editing each article and edits 32 articles per week. she noticed that if she spends
5 minutes fewer on each article, then she is able to edit 2 more articles each week. during one week, she spent 1,800 minutes
editing
if x is the number of times she decreased the editing time on each article by 5 minutes, select any equations that can be
used to represent this situation.
1,920 + 280x - 10x2 = 1,800
(60 + 5x)(32 - 2x) = 1,800
1,920 - 40x - 10x2 = 1,800
(60 - 5x)(32 + 2x) = 1,800
1,920 + 40x + 10x2 = 1,800
(60 - 2x)(32 + 5x) = 1,800
