Answer: Length = 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

The width of a rectangle is 2 units less than the length. It means that the width of the rectangle is (L - 2) units.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the rectangle is 63 units. It means that

L(L - 2) = 63

L² - 2L = 63

L² - 2L - 63 = 0

L² + 7L - 9L - 63 = 0

L(L + 7) - 9(L + 7) = 0

L - 9 = 0 or L + 7 = 0

L = 9 or L = - 7

Since the length cannot be negative, then

L = 9 units

Width = 9 - 2 = 7 units

Tom had a total of $220 and he spent $35 on a basketball ticket . What percent of his money did he have left?
RoseWind [281]

Answer: 84.09%


Step-by-step explanation:

1. 220-30=? ?=185

2. Divide 185 by 220 (as a fraction, 185 out of 220 is 185/220 which also means divide) 185 divided by 220 is about 0.8409

3. Multiply 0.8409 by 100 (since there is two zeros in 100 we can move the decimal to the right twice which gets you 84.09

I NEED HELP PLEASEEEEEE
dybincka [34]

Answer:

A. The function is always decreasing

Step-by-step explanation:

we read a graph from left to right, so we can always compare the increase/decrease of a function by seeing how an x value compares with an x value to the left

(I am aware that this paragraph is really confusing)

we can see that as x increases, from -∞ to 0,

y decreases in correspondence

and that as x increases, from 0 to ∞,

y decreases in correspondence also

So, even though the graph doesn't quite look like it, when x < 0; the function decreases, when x > 0; function decreases--so the function is always decreasing

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)
