-5.8 + (-2.5) = -8.3
since both the number are negative you simply add the numbers and use the negative sign.
750 x 25 = 18750 grams
there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram, so divide 18750 by 1,000 to get 18.750 kilograms. Rounded to the nearest tenth is 18.8 kilograms
Answer:
L = 18 and w = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle is found by A = l*w. Since the length here is 2 more than the width or 2 + w and the width is w, substitute these values and A = 288 to solve for w.

To solve for w, move 288 to the other side by subtraction. Then factor and solve.

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve.
w - 16 = 0 so w = 16
w + 18 = 0 so w = -18
Since w is a side length and length/distance cannot be negative, then w = 16 is the width of the rectangle.
This means the length is 16 + 2 = 18.
First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. If your answer is a negative number, then this is a percentage increase. :)
