an rug has an area of 150 ft2. the width of the rug is 5 feet less than the length.
which equation models the area of the rug?
x(x - 5) = 150
x(x + 5) = 150
2x - 5 = 150
x(5 - x) = 150

Assuming that the rug is rectangular in shape, therefore the formula of area is:

A = l w                                   ---> 1

where l is the length of the rug and w is the width of the rug

We are given that the width of the rug is 5 feet less than the length, therefore:

w = l – 5                                ---> 2

Combining equations 1 and 2 and knowing that A = 150 will give us:

l (l – 5) = 150

In the given choices, l = x, therefore:

x (x – 5) = 150

Hence the correct answer is the 1st one (A)

the correct answer is option c.   3

points to remember

equation of the line with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

from the figure we can see a line with two coordinates given

to find the slope of given line

here   (x₁, y₁)   = (-1, -1 ) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5)

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

  = (5 - -1)/(1 - -1)

  = (5 + 1)/(1 + 1)

  = 6/2 = 3

therefore the correct answer is option c.   3
