W=l-8
a=9
a=lw
9=(l-8)l
9=l²-8l
0=l²-8l-9
factor
0=(l-9)(l+1)
set to zero
l-9=0
l=9
l+1=0
l=-1, false length can't be negative
l=9
the length is 9 units long
The answer should be 4, 4 can go into all of these numbers
Answer:
x^2-11x-12
Step-by-step explanation:
I use the box method, which makes a 2x2 box. Then you arrange you numbers based on the equation (show in image)
Then you multiply it out and get the equation
F(x)= x^2+x-12x-12
Simplify your equation and you get
F(x)= x^2-11x-12
