Yes square meters is a type of surface area.
First number = X
second number = x +26 ( exceeds means higher so add 26)
x + x+26 = 58
combine like terms:
2x + 26 = 58
subtract 26 from each side:
2x = 58-26
2x = 32
divide both sides by 2:
x = 32/2
x = 16
first number is 16
second number = 16+26 = 42
Here,
let width(b)be x then,
length (l)=9cm+x
area =112 sq cm
now,
area of rectangle=l*b
or, 112=(9+x)x
or, 112=9x+x^2
or, 0=x^2+9x-112
or, 0=x^2+(16-7)x-112
or, 0=x^2+16x-7x-112
or, 0=x(x+16)-7(x+16)
or, 0=(x-7)(x+16)
either,
0=x-7
or,7=x
x=7cm
Or,
0=x+16
or, -16=x
x= -16[impossible,as distance is never negative] so,
x=7cm
therefore,length = 7cm + 9 cm = 16cm and width = 7cm.

You don't have the answer choices but if there were no decomposers within an ecosystem, some plants could die due to a shortage of nutrients

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:
Note that the entire segment RT is the combined lengths of RS and ST. So:

We know that RT is 108, RS is (9y+5), and ST is (3y+7). Substitute:

On the right, combine like terms:

Add:

Subtract 12 from both sides. The right cancels:

Divide both sides by 12:

So, the value of y is 8.
To find RS and ST, substitute 8 for y. So:

Substitute 8 for y:

Multiply:

Add:

Do the same for ST:

Substitute 8 for y:

Multiply:

Add:
