A = l × w. Substitute 72 into A and fill in the rest of the equation.
w = l - 1. Plug l - 1 into w
72 = l × (l - 1). Multiply l by (l - 1)
72 = l^2 - l. Subtract 72 from each side.
0 = l^2 - l - 72. Factor.
0 = (l + 8) (l - 9). Set each term equal to zero.
(l + 8) = 0. Subtract 8 from each side.
l = -8. Length cant be a negative number so let's try the other term.
(l - 9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.
l = 9. The length is 9.
Earlier we stated that the width is one less than the length, therefore, the width is 9 - 1 = 8.
The width is 8 units.
Answer: $2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<h2>4 p.m.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a day contains 24 hours in total.
The time already passed will be represented by 
.
The remaining time would be 
, becasye half of what has already passed remains until the end of the day.
Basically, the sum of these two expression gives 24 hours in total.
Therefore, the actual time is 4 p.m.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
so this is (base times hight)
(bH)
42=7x
you didvide 7 from both sides
42 divided by 7 is 6
so basically its 6
because that would be your base thats what you are missing
then its just baseically (BH) (7 times 6)= 42
if this is wrong im so sorry I just learned this good luck
