Answer:
The answer is X=-4 hope this helps.
Let the width of the rectangle be x
Then length =x-4
Area=x(x-4)=140
x²-4x=140
x²-4x-140=0
x²-14x+10x-140=0
x(x-14)+10(x-14)=0
(x-14)(x+10)=0
Therefore,length=14 cm and width=10 cm
Answer:
9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
When you divide by a number, whole number or fraction, it's exactly like multiplying by its inverse.
Like if you divide 4 by 2, you can easily express that has 4 * 1/2.
In the same manner, when you divide 3/4 by 1/3, you can say that you're multiplying 3/4 by 3/1
The result of 3/4 * 3/1 = 9 / 4
Which you cannot simplify because 9 and 4 don't have any common factors (other than 1). The only other way to express it would be 3²/2² or (3/2)²
