Let width of rectangle be "x"
L= 3x W=x
if width is diminished by 1 that means new width = (x-1)
similarly the new length would be (3x+3)
hence (x-1)*(3x+3)=72
(3x^2)-3=72
3x^2=75
x^2=25
x= +/- 5
reject -5 as you cant have negative length
hence x=5
so original dimensions of rectangle is 
L= 15m W=5m

Answer:

(See bolded numbers)

<u>Factoring</u><u> -1 out of negative numbers</u><u>:</u>

11) (-6) • (3)= (-1 • 6) • 3= -1 • 6 • 3= -18

-6 is the negative number here and factoring out -1 from -6 will give us -1(6). In the second last step, multiply 6 and 3 together then multiply the product by -1.

-1(6 ×3)= -1(18)= -18

12) (-4) • (-8)= (-1 • 4) • (-1 • 8)= 1 • 4 • 8= 32

Multiplying 2 negative numbers will give us a positive number. The 3rd step is 1 as (-1)(-1)= 1.

13) (-9) • (-5)= (-1 • 9) • (-1 • 5)= 1 • 9 • 5= 45

14) (2) • (-8)= 2 • (-1 • 8)= -1 • 2 • 8= -16

Negative numbers are numbers with a negative sign and are numbers less than zero. Factoring -1 out of negative numbers will leave us with the positive number.

Explain why 58 can be rounded to the nearest hundred even though there is not a digit in the hundreds place?
Mrac [35]
Because 58 is closer to 100 than 0
another example you can see is if it was 10058 and you were asked to round to the nearest hundred you can say 10100
