I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.

-12=-2(2-8) <br> Is it true false or an open sentence

MissTica

The statement is false because when you use distributive property, you get -12=-4+16 and when you add 16 to -4, you'll get 12, not -12, making the statement false.
