David wants to hang a mirror in his room. The mirror and frame must have an area of 8 square feet. The mirror is 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. Which quadratic equation can be used to determine the thickness of the frame, x?

4x^2+10x-2=0

Step-by-step explanation:

So the total area of mirror: 2*3 = 6 ft sq

8-6 = 2 ft sq is the area of the frame

x is the thickness of the frame

so we have (2*x)*2+(3*x)*2+x*x*4= 2

4x+6x+4x^2=2

-> 4x^2+10x-2=0

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
