Answer:

length = 9 in ; width = 4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

1) formula of the area of a rectangle

A = base x width

2) write an equation with the given informations:

w x (3w-3) = 36

3) solve the equation

-  multiply W by 3w and -3

3w^2 -3w = 36

- divide the two members by 3

w^2 - w = 12

- add up -12 at the two members

w^2-w -12 = 12 -12

w^2 - w - 12 = 0

- find two numbers whose sum is -1 and whose product is -12 and factorise the equation

(w-4)(w+3) = 0

- find the two solutions

w-4 = 0

w = 4

w+3 = 0

w = -3

4)remember that a length can’t be negative.

w = 4 is the only solution

5) find the length

4x3 - 3 = 9

Naddik [55]

The interpretation is that we are 95% confident that the true population proportion p is somewhere between 0.58 and 0.64

Something like 0.58 converts to 58% when you move the decimal point 2 spots to the right.

Factor out the coefficient 1/2d+6
Ratling [72]
To factor, we always have to look for common factors in the numbers given to us. In this case, in 1/2 and 6, the common factor is 1/2. Therefore, we will have to factor like so:

1/2d + 6 = 1/2 (d + 3)

Hope this helps!
