1.) you are one of five people who have been hired to mow the lawn at the local college. each week, the dimensions of the plot you are responsible to mow changes. the college conducts a lottery, and whichever number is drawn, represents the x value. your plot has a length which is three more than seven times x and the width is four times x minus 2.

a.) what are the dimensions of your mowing plot? (2 points)

length:

width:

b.) what is the area of your plot (remember area = length x width)? (2 points)

area:

c.) if x = 10 meters, how many square meters is your plot? (show steps)(2 points)

area:

2.) factor by grouping: (4 points)

xy − 4y + 7x − 28

1a)  Length = 7x + 3  & Width = 4x - 2

1b)  Area =

1c)  Area = 2774 sq. m

2.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1a)

The length given as words is "3 more than 7 times x"

The width given as words is "4 times x minus 2"

The expression for length would be  7x + 3

The expression for width would be 4x - 2

1b)

The area is length * width

Since we already know the algebraic expressions for length and width from part (a) above, we use the formula:

Area = (7x+3)(4x-2) = 28x^2 -14x + 12x - 6 = 28x^2 -2x -6

Area =

1c)

Given x = 10, we put this into the area expression we found in (b) above.Let's see:

Area = 2774 sq. m

2.

We can group the first two terms and next two terms and write up:

That's the factored form.

2x^2+5x+17

your welcome. : )

the correct answer is a) they believe they have a "just cause."

islamic terrorists justify their violent actions because they believe they have a "just cause."

every act of terrorism of islamic sects is done “in the name of allah”. that justifies their actions. islam people who commit those terrorist attacks are not afraid to die. that is why the attacks have horrible consequences. they know they are going to die and they are proud to do it because it is in the name of allah, so it is justified and is for a “good cause.”

since the very beginning of the conflict with israel, islam is fighting a “sacred war”, respecting the words stated in the qur’an. they fight against the domination of the western countries and to defend their occupied territories.
