Answer:

The correct answer is 2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l inches and w inches be the length and width of a rectangle respectively.

According to the given problem, l - 8 = \frac{w}{2}.

Area of the rectangle is given to be, according to the question, 18 square inches.

Thus l × w = 18

⇒ l × (2l - 16) = 18

⇒ 2 l^{2} - 16l - 18 = 0

⇒  l^{2} - 8l - 9 = 0

⇒ ( l - 9) ( l + 1) = 0

The possible values of l are 9 and -1. As the length cannot be equal to -1, thus the value of the length is 9 inches.

Width of the rectangle is 2 inches.

Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.
Tom [10]

Answer: The statements in options 2 and 4 are true.

Explanation:

The LCM of two numbers is the smallest number that is multiple of both numbers.

The factor of 8 and 12 are,

8=2\times 2\times 2

12=2\times 2\times 3

Since 2 and 2 are common in both but 2 and 3 are not same, therefore the L.C.M. of 8 and 12 is,

L.C.M.(8,12)=2\times 2\times 2\times 3=24

Therefore the statement in option 1 is incorrect.

The factor of 6 and 9 are,

6=2\times 3

9=3\times 3

Since 3 is common in both but 2 and 3 are not same, therefore the L.C.M. of 6 and 9 is,

L.C.M.(6,9)=2\times 3\times 3=18

Therefore the statement in option 2 is correct.

The factor of 11 and 4 are,

11=1\times 11

4=2\times 2

Since all factor are different, therefore the L.C.M. of 11 and 4 is,

L.C.M.(11,4)=1\times 11\times 2\times 2=44

Therefore the statement in option 3 is incorrect.

The factor of 9 and 10 are,

9=1\times 9

10=2\times 5

Since all factor are different, therefore the L.C.M. of 9 and 10 is,

L.C.M.(9,10)=1\times 9\times 2\times 5=90

Therefore the statement in option 4 is correct.

never [62]

Answer:

7 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're asking me grams specifically, and not kilograms, subtract 68 from 75 to get your answer. If it's only kilograms subtract 324 from 405. If it's both of them added together subtract 399 from 473, you're welcome!

Please help with steps:<br><br> 18 - 24 (divide) (-6)
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Solution is 1 (one).

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The equation \frac{18-24}{-6} can be solved by solving first the expression in the numerator. This is done by solving 18-24=-6.
  • Then, you just have \frac{-6}{-6}. The negative is canceled when it appears twice, so we just have to solve \frac{6}{6}=1 (any number divided by itself equals to one).
