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.

A = l*w\\288 = w(2+w)\\288 = w^2 + 2w

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

w^2 + 2w  - 288 = 0 \\(w +18)(w-16) = 0\\

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.

Need help plzzzz will medal and fan

The answer is f(x)=x²+2x when evaluated with -3 gives you the value of 3

Let's check all functions.
1. The function f(x)=x²<span>+2x when evaluated with 3 gives you the value of 3:
  Evaluated with x means that</span> x = 3.
   f(3) = 3² + 2 * 3 = 9 + 6 = 15 
   15 ≠ 3, so, this is not correct.

2. f(x)=x²<span>-3x when evaulated with -3 give you the value of 3
    Evaluated with -3 means that x = -3.
    (f-3) = (-3)</span>² - 3 * (-3) = 9 + 9 = 18 
    18 ≠ 3, so, this is not correct.

3. f(x)=x²<span>+2x when evaluated with -3 gives you the value of 3
</span>    Evaluated with -3 means that x = -3.
    f(-3) = (-3)² + 2 * (-3) = 9 - 6 = 3
    3 = 3, so this is correct.

4. f(x)=x²-3x when evaluated with -3 gives you the value of 3
    Evaluated with 3 means that x = 3.
    f(3) = (3)² - 3 * 3 = 9 - 9 = 0
    0 ≠ 3, so this is not correct.

Using the slope​ formula, find the slope of the line through the given points.
UNO [17]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  = (-5--5)/ (9--8)

 = (-5+5)/(9+8)

 = 0/17

=0

The slope it 0

This is a horizontal line because the y value doesn't change.  If the y value doesn't change, the slope it zero.
