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

GCF and LCM what is it and what do i have to do
kondor19780726 [428]
GCF is the Greatest Common Factor. It would be the largest number that can divide evenly into all the numbers you need to find the GCF in.

exapmple GCF for 12 and 16

12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

the largest common number is 4, so 4 is the GCF of 12 & 16


LCM = Least Common Multiple is the smallest number ( other than zero) that is a multiple of both

LCM of 3 and 5

3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18
5: 5, 10, 15, 20
 the first common number is 15, so this is the LCM of 3 & 5
