As you haven't specifically stated what exactly the question is, I will be assuming that the question is most likely asking for what the dimensions ( length and width ) of the rectangle is. With this in mind, I will be answering the question so here I go...
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
Let's first establish the formula for the area of a rectangle as displayed below:
Area = Length × Width
A = lw
From this, we will establish the values for each of the parts in the area formula using the information given in the problem as displayed below:
A = 72cm^2
l = w + 6
w = w
Now, we will substitute these values into the area formula and then make ( w ) the subject as displayed below:
A = lw
72 = ( w + 6 ) ( w )
72 = w ( w + 6 )
72 = w^2 + 6w
0 = w^2 + 6w - 72
0 = w^2 + 12w - 6w - 72
0 = w ( w + 12 ) - 6 ( w + 12 )
0 = ( w + 12 ) ( w - 6 )
w + 12 = 0
w = 0 - 12
w = - 12
w - 6 = 0
w = 0 + 6
w = 6
As the answer must be positive as measurements are always positive, the answer must be the option which is a positive number.
Therefore:
w = 6
Using the equation we made for the length before, we can substitute the value of ( w ) to obtain the value of the length as displayed below:
l = w + 6
l = ( 6 ) + 6
l = 12
FINAL ANSWER:
The dimensions of the rectangle are:
Length = 12cm
Width = 6cm

There are like terms 5y and y. Since there is a subtraction sign in front of y, we would subtract that from 5y, which becomes 4y. 8x and 12x are also like terms (x). Since 12x has an addition sign in front, indicating it's positive, we would add it to -8x (which is negative b/c of the subtraction sign in front). 12x + -8x = 4x. The expression is 4y + 4x.
Hope this helps!
Your answer is D (-1.5,-.5)
Answer:
B) -|x + 3| = 3
D) |x + 3| + 6 = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
A) |x + 3| = 3
B) -|x + 3| = 3
Divide by -1
|x + 3| = -3
Absolute values are 0 or positive so this cannot have a solution
C) |x + 3| + 3 = 3
Subtract 3 from each side
|x + 3| + 3-3 = 3-3
|x + 3| = 0
D) |x + 3| + 6 = 3
Subtract 6 from each side
|x + 3| = -3
Absolute values are 0 or positive so this cannot have a solution
