8 0

Answer:

The percentage decrease is 15%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent decrease of any two numbers, subtract the numbers and divide it by the original.

So in this case:

20-17÷20

= 3÷20

= 0.15

Now convert to a percent.

0.15×100 = 15%

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The length of a rectangle is 2 feet more than it's width. How do you find the dimensions of the rectangle if its area is 63 square feet?

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x+2) = 63

x^2 + 2x = 63

x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0

Quadratic formula with numbers plugged in: (-2 +or- sqrt(4 - 4* 1 * -63))/2 becomes

-2 +or- sqrt(256)/2 so (-2 +or- 16)/2 therefore -18/2 or 14/2. Discard negative result.

x = 7. 63/7=9. Sides are 7ft and 9ft.
