The answer is C. 1
You can just plug in the different answers for x and see which one equals zero.
F(1) = 1 + 4 + 1 - 6 = 0
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:
ok
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>old:</u> $16
<u>new:</u> $20
<u>percent increase</u>
-> formula: (new-old / old) x 100
(20-16 / 16) x 100
4/16 x 100
0.25 x 100
answer: 25% increase
