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

It is known that 1.4< square root of 2 <1.5. Find all possible values of the expression 2-square root of 2. How do I find
horsena [70]

Answer:

0.5<2-√2<0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The original inequality states that 1.4<√2<1.5

For the second inequality, you can think of 2-√2 as 2+(-√2).

Because of the "properties of inequalities", we know that when a positive inequality is being turned into a negative, the numbers need to swap and become negative. So, the original inequality becomes -1.5<-√2<-1.4. (Notice how the √2 becomes negative, too). This makes sense because -1.5 is less than -1.4.

Using our new inequality, we can solve the problem. Instead of 2+(-√2), we are going to switch "-√2" with both possibilities of -1.5 and -1.6. For -1.5, we would get 2+(-1.5), or 0.5. For -1.4, we would get 2+(-1.4), or 0.6.

Now, we insert the new numbers into the equation _<2-√2<_. The 0.5 would take the original equation's "1.4" place, and 0.6 would take 1.5's. In the end, you'd get 0.5<2-√2<0.6. All possible values of 2-√2 would be between 0.5 and 0.6.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Each question is 6%/3 = 2% worth. If each question is worth 2% then total questions must be 50 (cuz that would be 2% x 50 (total question) = 100%).

X² + 4x + 3 = 0<br><br>Can someone please help me solve this quadratic equation <br>​
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x= -1 and -3

What when multiplied is +3 but when added is 4? 3 and 1. You then get (x+3)(x+1) is the first part of the answer. If you want to find x, set x+3 to 0. x+3=0. Then subtract 3 from both sides to get x by itself. x= -3. Do the same with the x+1.

Please help with question number 19, this is for math class
natima [27]
For the smaller triangle ;
15^2 + b^2 = 17^2
b = 8

To check the work
15^2 + 8^2 = 289
17^2 = 289

(This is if the bottom number on the smaller triangle says 15, its a bit hard to read..)

The shirts are 12.75 for 3 so we can write a ratio of \frac{12.75}{3} To get the price of the shirts, one needs to divide \frac{12.75}{3} , which will tells use what the unit price is per shirt. The price per shirt is $4.25
