Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Width=(Length-2) units
W=(L-2) units
Area of the rectangle= 35 square units
Area = length* Width

Subtracting 35 both sides:

Solving the quadratic equation for 'L' ;
Using factorization:

Taking common from the equation :

OR

The length cannot be negative, therefore Length(L)= 7


Answer:
x=-27
Step-by-step explanation:
x/-9=3
x=3*-9=-27
No they don't.
Phythagorean triple is when the sum of the squares of two numbers is equal to the square of another number.
20^2 + 24^2 = 400 + 576 = 976
31^2 = 961
20^2 + 24^2 should have been equal to 31^2 but that's not the case. So, the side's length don't form a triple.
Hope it helped!
