The width of a rectangle is the length minus 3 units. The area of the rectangle is 54 units. What is the width, in units, of a r
ectangle
1 answer:
Width of the rectangle is 9 units
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x. Then the length = x - 3. Find dimensions of the rectangle if its area = 54 sq. units
Area of the rectangle = length × width
54 = x (x - 3)
54 = x² - 3x
x² - 3x - 54 = 0
x² + 6x - 9x - 54 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)
x(x + 6) - 9(x + 6) = 0
(x + 6)(x - 9) = 0
x = -6, 9 (negative value is neglected)
x = 9 units

-4 x 8 = -32
-4 x -1 = 4
-4 x -5 = 20
-4 x 9 = -36
Answer: |-32 4 20 -36|
