Sarah wants to hang a mirror in her room. the mirror and frame must have an area of 15 square feet. the mirror is 3 feet wide and 4 feet long. which quadratic equation can be used to determine the thickness of the frame, x? 3x2 + 14x − 2 = 0 4x2 + 14x − 3 = 0 x2 + 12x − 14 = 0 2x2 + 7x − 14 = 0

for the correct answer you want option 2, its correct

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

4

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−37

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8
