i. + 26x + 144 - 299 = 0

ii. x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the figure = 299 cm²

The figure has a shape of a rectangle, so that;

Area of rectangle = length x width

length of the figure = 18 + x

width of the figure = 8 + x

Area of the figure = (18 + x) x (8 + x)

299 = (18 + x) x (8 + x)

299 = + 26x + 144

+ 26x + 144 - 299 = 0

+ 26x - 155 = 0

applying the trigonometric formula;

x = (-b ± ) ÷ 2a

= (-26 ± ) ÷ 2

= (-26 ± ) ÷ 2

= (-26 ± ) ÷ 2

= (-26 ± 36) ÷ 2

x = (-26 + 36) ÷ 2  OR x = (-26 -36) ÷ 2

  = 10 ÷ 2 OR -62 ÷ 2

  = 5 OR -31

Thus, x = 5

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to solve it and find the product:

-13 × (-5)

solving the given expression in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, beginning with the opening of brackets and then multiplying the terms and changing their signs.

-3 × -5 = 15 (answer is positive because when negative is multiplied with negative, it gives a positive answer)
