Use the area of rectangle formula which is:

Given that:
- area of rectangle = 16
- width = 8
- length = x-5
Substitute in the formula:

Distribute 8 in the expression:

Move -40 to another side and change from -40 to 40.

Then move 8 to divide 56, leaving only x.

Hence, the answer is:

Answer:
this is a negative slope
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this helps!
Domain ( all possible values of x) is x > 5 or in interval notation it is (5, ∞)
The range( all possible values of log x) is (-∞, ∞)
Y=<span><span>−<span>3x</span></span>−<span>2
</span></span>-3x=y+2 (keep, change, flip)
so....
-3x-2 :) Hope I helped!
