When you see the subtraction<span> (</span>minus<span>) sign followed by a </span>negative<span> sign, turn the two signs into a plus sign. Thus, instead of </span>subtracting<span> a </span>negative<span>, you're adding a </span>positive<span>, so you have a simple addition problem.</span>

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
saul85 [17]

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

By using a number line, arrange each of the each of the following in descending order (a) 4 29upon 33, -2.365,5.5,-3 upon 4 (b)
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The arrangement of the numbers in descending order (largest to smallest) are as follows;

  • a). 5.5, 4, 29/33, -3/4, -2.365
  • b). 10, 5.855, 5/8, 1/2 -2π, -8

<h3>What is the arrangement of the numbers in descending order in each case?</h3>

It follows from convention that the positive numbers are larger than negative numbers and hence, should appear before negative numbers when the arrangement is in descending order.

Consequently, the numbers can be evaluated and arranged as in the answer above with positive numbers increasing rightwards and negative numbers decreasing leftward of 0 on the number line.
