Respuesta :
-0.2 is not a possible value of x because lengths cannot be negative.
Answer:
Option D. 3
Step-by-step explanation:
For all the given options, let's substitute these values and check what length do they give for 5x+3.
A) -0.2:
5x+3 = 5 (-0.2) + 3 = 2
B) 0:
5x+3 = 5 (0) + 3 = 3
C) 1:
5x+3 = 5 (1) + 3 = 8
D) 3:
5x+3 = 5(3) + 3 = 18
So in my opinion, the option D. 3 cannot be possible value for x. The reason being that 3 gives us a length of 18 which is already shown in the diagram as the longest length.
While 5x+3 looks way smaller than the one shown by 18.
