A small steel anchor weighs 17 pounds. A larger steel anchor that is similar in shape has a scale factor of 5. How much does the larger anchor weigh?
a. 2,725 lbs
C 3,125 lbs
b. 2.125 lbs
d. 2,325 lbs

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
