Let l and l-6 be the length and width, respectively, of the rectangle. Then:
l(l-6)=40
l²-6l-40=0
(l-10)(l+4)=0
l=10,-4
The rectangle is 10" by 4". ☺☺☺☺
Answer:
Multiply the first bracket by 3
Multiply the second bracket by -2
3x+3=-2x+2-4
3x+2x+3=-2x-2 negative (-) number and positive number (+)= negative number
Just rearranging
5x+3=-2
5x+3-3=-2-3
5x=-5
Dividing by 5
5x/5=-5/5
x=-1
Check answer by using substitution method
3(-1+1)=-2(-1-1)-4
0=-2(-2)-4 negative number and negative number = positive number
0=4-4
0=0
Answer is x=-1
-3(x+3)=-3(x+1)-5
-3x-9=-3x-3-5
-3x-9=-3x-8
