A = l × w. Substitute 72 into A and fill in the rest of the equation.
w = l - 1. Plug l - 1 into w
72 = l × (l - 1). Multiply l by (l - 1)
72 = l^2 - l. Subtract 72 from each side.
0 = l^2 - l - 72. Factor.
0 = (l + 8) (l - 9). Set each term equal to zero.
(l + 8) = 0. Subtract 8 from each side.
l = -8. Length cant be a negative number so let's try the other term.
(l - 9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.
l = 9. The length is 9.
Earlier we stated that the width is one less than the length, therefore, the width is 9 - 1 = 8.
The width is 8 units.
X + x - x is x
y + y + y is 3y
-z + z - z is -z
x + 3y
Answer:
X intercept is -1
Y intercept is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The intercepts are when the line goes through the x axis or when
the line goes through the y axis.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
A perpendicular slope is on that is the negative reciprocal. current slope=4/9 and the negative recipocal is -9/4.
