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

How can i solve this equation to find x?
34kurt

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that A and M are on a line, which is 180 degrees, and the little square means 90 degrees. So, ∠RAM = 180 - 90 = 90 degrees.

∠RAM = ∠RAX + ∠XAM

90 = (2x - 10) + (-3x + 125)

Now, simply combine like terms and solve for x:

90 = 2x - 3x - 10 + 125

90 = -x + 115

x = 115 - 90 = 25

Thus, x = 25.

Anastaziya [24]
(7x) + 3 = 8
subtract both sides by 3.

7x = 5
divide both sides by 7 to isolate the variable, x.

x = 5/7
