Subtracting a negative number is like removing debt. When you remove debt, you effectively gave someone money and the value of their bank account increased.
Another answer is that “subtraction is addition of the opposite,” so subtracting a negative number is really adding a positive number, which again causes the other number to increase.
Answer: improper fractions
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: the length and width are
(x + 8) and (x + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
The rug has an area represented by the expression
Area = 4x² + 64x + 256.
The factors in the factored expressions represent the length and width of the rug.
Dividing the the equation by 4, it becomes
x² + 16x + 64 = 0
We would find two numbers such that their sum or difference is 16x and their product is 64x^2.
The two numbers are 8x and 8x. Therefore,
x² + 8x + 8x + 64 = 0
x(x + 8) + 8(x + 8) = 0
The factors are
(x + 8)(x + 8)
It might be 5 units
