Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = LW

We know that the w = 2

We are told that the L (length) is three less than an unknown number so that mean L = (x - 3)

We are then told that the area = 22 square inches.

Area = LW

22 = (x - 3)2

Now solve for x

22 = (x - 3)2

Distribute the 2

22 = 2x - 6

22 + 6 = 2x

28 = 2x

28 / 2 = 2x / 2

14 = x

x = 14

Now take 14 and subtract 3

14 - 3 = 11

Unknown number = 11

Area  = LW

L = 11

W = 2

Area = 22

11 * 2 = 22

Help with 7-12 please!​
OLEGan [10]

How to solve 7-10: if a coordinate (x, y) is on the line, then f(x) = y.

7. Since x is 6, look at the graph, which shows that y (or f(x)) is 4. (look at picture)

8. Same thing as 7. you will see that f(x) is 15.

9. The other way around. since we know y = 2, looking at the graph shows us that x = 3.

10. Repeat process of 9. x = 10.

How to solve 11 + 12: slope formula (rise-over-run)

11. (14-4)/(12-6) = 10/6 = 5/3.

12. (16-14)/(18-12) = 2/6 = 1/3.

(If possible brainliest is appreciated :D)
