Answer:

n = 5, n = -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2n + 5 = l

n - 4 = w

A = l × w = 15

(2n + 5)(n-4) = 15

2n^2 - 8n + 5n - 20 = 15

2n^2 -3n - 35 = 0

(2n + 7)(n - 5) = 0

2n + 7 = 0      or       n - 5 = 0

n = -7/2          or       n = 5

I just guessed and checked. 95-60= 35
So .3685×95 is the closest to equaling 35

Order these from least to greatest. -13/8, -2.1, -26/13, -9/4 I know how to do this I'm just to lazy too and I want to chat.
oksian1 [2.3K]
-9/4, -2.1 , -26/13, -13/8 you can double check by inserting all these into a calculator so u can see in decimal form and basically the bigger the number that’s negative the less value it is (sorry that’s kind of a bad explanation but i hope this helps :) )
