Answer: Width = 3cm
Length = 8cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Length = x+5 cm
Width = xcm
Area = 24cm²
Area of a rectangle = length × width
x × (x + 5) = 24
x² + 5x = 24
x² + 5x - 24 = 0
x² + 8x - 3x - 24 = 0
x(x + 8) - 3(x + 8) = 0
x - 3 = 0
x = 3
Width = 3cm
Since length = x + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8cm
Length = 8cm
9.75 dollars divided by 3 pounds equals 3.25 per pound

The only value of x for which [x-5]=1 is true is 6: [6-5]=1
Let, the number be "x"
Now,
according to the question,
4x -8 = x -23....................This is your equation.
Now solving it,
4x - 8 = x - 23
4x - x = -23 + 8
3x = -15
x = -15 / 3
x = -5
Checking the answer,
4 (-5) - 8 = (-5) - 23
-20 - 8 = -5 - 23
-28 = -28......................................true
X= sales tax %
Step 1:
$240 * sales tax %= $12
240 * x= 12
240x=12
Divide both sides by 240
x= 0.05 (decimal of the %)
Convert to %:
Multiply decimal by 100 (or move decimal to the right two decimal places
=0.05 x 100
=5 %
The sales tax is 5%.
Hope this helps! :)
