The dimensions would be x and x+6. The area is 216.

x(x+6) = 216
x^2 + 6x - 216 = 0
(x-12)(x+18) = 0

x = 12---Yes---
x = -18---No, sides cannot be negative---

If one side is 12, the other side is 18. To check:

12 * 18 = 216
216 = 216

Correct

Answer:

Round off to closest value.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to remove the requirement for change, every time the client buys a product for $0.20 the random number that lies between 0 and 1 would be produced also the same would be rounded to the closest value i.e. 0 or 1. In the case when 0 arise so the customer would not have to pay any amount but if 1 arise so the customer have to pay $1. So this type of method would remove the requirement for a minor change

-1/2=3/2k+3/2<br> explain how you got your answer
meriva

-1/2=3/2k+3/2


Rewrite the equation to have k on left side


3/2k+3/2=-1/2


Simplify 3/2k


3k/2+3/2=12


Move all terms not containing k to right side


3k/2=1/2-3/2


3k/2=-2


Multiply both sifmdes by 2


2(3k/2)=-2(2)


3k=-4


Divide both sides by 3 to get k alone


3k/3=-4/3


K= -4/3
