I need help finding the distince.​

guessing that the area of the inner rectangle is 10m²

and the other rectangle is 16m*10m= 160m²

we can say that

(16-x) * (10-x) = 10

for the area of the inner rectangle

let's calculate the lefthand side of the equation

160 - 16x -10x + x² = 10

160 -26x +x² = 10

subtract 10 on both sides

150 -26x +x² = 0

rearrange

x² -26x + 150 = 0

looks like something we can throw the pq formula on to solve for x

with p = -26 and q = 150

we need to interpret this solutions

but to be sure on this, I need the unreadable text of the photographed problem

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
