Area of a rectangle  =  length x height

Area = 135

Height = X

Lenght = x +6

135 = x * x+6

Simplify:

135 = x^2 +6x

Subtract 135 from both sides:

x^2 + 6x - 135 = 0

Solve:

2 numbers when added need to equal 6 and when multiplied equal -135

x = 9 and x = -15

The height can't be a negative number so the height is 9

Length =  9 +6 = 15

Height = 9cm, Length = 15 cm

ANTONII [103]

Right now the dirt bike is worth $500. Next year it will be worth 15% less, or 85% of the current value (because currently it's at 100%, so you would subtract the 15%). To find 85% of the dirt bike's value, you would take $500 and multiply by 85% (or 0.85). This would give you $425 after 1 year. You'd take $425 and multiply that by 85% for the next year, and continue until you reached 5 years of the value decreasing. Does this help?
