Any answer less than one would work, soothe answers are A and D
Area=legnth times width
area=3/5
legnth=7/8
width=x
3/5=7/8 times x
divide both sides by 7/8 (aka multiply both sides by 8/7 to cancel fraction because 7/8 times 8/7=56/56=1)
8/7 times 3/5=56/56 times x
24/35=1 times x
24/35=x
width=24/35 mile

Answer:
do u take links bcs i can give u a link to the answer if u want
Answer:
n = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference of the square of a number and 24 is equal to 5 times that number. Find the negative solution.
I'm going to call the number "n."
n² - 24 = 5n subtract 5n from both sides to get the equation equal to zero
<u>- 5n -5n</u>
n² - 5n - 24 = 0 factor the trinomial into the multiplicatin of two binomials
we need factors (numbers that multiply) to -24 that add up to
-5. The only factors for -24 that will add up to -5 are -8 and 3.
(n-8)(n+3) = 0 set each binomial equal to zero and solve for n
n-8 = 0 or n+3 = 0
<u>+8 +8</u> <u> -3 -3</u>
n = 8 or n = -3 n = -3 is the negative solution
