Width of the rectangle is 1 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the length of the rectangle be x. Then the width = x - 5. Find dimensions of the rectangle if its area = 6 sq. units

Area of the rectangle = length × width

6 = x (x - 5)

6 = x² - 5x

x² - 5x - 6 = 0

x² - 6x + x - 6 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)

x(x - 6) + 1(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

x = -1, 6 (negative value is neglected)

x = 6 units

x - 5 = 1 unit

Evaluate g(n-5) if g(x)=x^2-6/2x
Olegator [25]
G(x) = (x^2-6) / 2x 

<span>g( n-5) = ( [n-5]^2 -6) / 2(n-5) </span>

<span>= ( n^2 -10n +25 -6 ) / 2(n-5) or ( n^2 -10n +25 -6 ) / (2n-10) </span>
<span>Your Answer </span>

<span>I did foil first and got n^2-10n+25 </span>
<span>then did 25-6 to get 19. </span>
<span>so n^2-10n+25 is on top.////// should have been n^2 -10n +19 </span>
<span>and the bottom is 2(n-5) so I distributed the 2 and got 2n-10 </span>

<span>so n^2-10n+25 </span>
<span>2n-10 </span>
<span>= (n^2 -10n +19) / 2(n-5)</span>
