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

Can a -150/10 be classified as both a rational number and a integer
irakobra [83]
Yes! This is because -150/10 can be simplified to be -15, which is a rational number.

The word “rational” sounds like another math word you’ve heard of before. Do you know what it is?

Well, it’s “ratio”!! Ratios can be seen in the forms x:y and x/y.


ANY RATIONAL NUMBER HAS THE ABILITY TO BE WRITTEN AS A RATIO!! This will completely exclude numbers with super long decimal points (ex: 1.2345678809928374737272828...)

This number also meets the requirements of being an integer. An integer is any whole number (this excludes decimals and fractions)

I know it’s written as a fraction. However, the fraction could be simplified, making it -15, which means this is both a rational number and an integer!!
