Use distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis.....
9x - 3 + 6 - 2x = 0
combine like terms
7x + 3 = 0
move the 3 over by subtraction
7x = -3
divide by 7
x = -3/7
The correct answer to this question is "120 ways"
Main Courses consists of Beef, Pork Roast, Duck, Quiche (4), Vegetables consists of Broccoli, Carrots, Potatoes (3), Beverages consists of Coffee, Tea, Milk, Soda and Shakes (5), Desserts consists of Ice Cream, Brownies (2)
The total number of ways can be solved as: 4 * 3 * 5 * 2 = 120
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.

Answer:
h = 48
because 32 + 3h + 4 = 180
32 + 4 = 36
36 + 3h - 36 = 180 - 36
3h = 144
3h/3 = 144/3
h = 48
I do believe it would be a 2.2
