The area of a rectangle is A=LW, the area of a square is A=S^2.
W=S-2 and L=2S-3
And we are told that the areas of each figure are the same.
S^2=LW, using L and W found above we have:
S^2=(2S-3)(S-2) perform indicated multiplication on right side
S^2=2S^2-4S-3S+6 combine like terms on right side
S^2=2S^2-7S+6 subtract S^2 from both sides
S^2-7S+6=0 factor:
S^2-S-6S+6=0
S(S-1)-6(S-1)=0
(S-6)(S-1)=0, since W=S-2, and W>0, S>2 so:
S=6 is the only valid value for S. Now we can find the dimensions of the rectangle...
W=S-2 and L=2S-3 given that S=6 in
W=4 in and L=9 in
So the width of the rectangle is 4 inches and the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.
Answer:
it opens down meaning it has a maximum instead of a minimum. the graph has a horizontal shift of 3 spaces to the right

Answer: P(red): 1/2
P(red or black):3/4
Step-by-step explanation: Count the total number of marbles. There are 8. Since there are 4 red marbles out of the 8, put this into a fraction. It will be 4/8, but simplify to 1/2. The P(red) is 1/2.
Since there are 4 red marbles and 2 black marbles, add them. There are 6 out of the 8 marbles. The fraction is 6/8 simplify to 3/4. The P(red or black) is 3/4.
