Answer:
The correct answer is 2 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l inches and w inches be the length and width of a rectangle respectively.
According to the given problem, l - 8 = 
.
Area of the rectangle is given to be, according to the question, 18 square inches.
Thus l × w = 18
⇒ l × (2l - 16) = 18
⇒ 2 
- 16l - 18 = 0
⇒ - 8l - 9 = 0
⇒ ( l - 9) ( l + 1) = 0
The possible values of l are 9 and -1. As the length cannot be equal to -1, thus the value of the length is 9 inches.
Width of the rectangle is 2 inches.

Answer:
<h2>y = -3x - 1</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:
<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>
<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>
The formula of a slope:
We have two points (1, -4) and (-2, 5).
Substitute:
Substitute the value of a slope and the coordinates of the point (1, -4) to the equation of a line:
<em>add 3 to both sides</em>
Finally:
Answer:
2 bowls of soup
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1. Make 1 1/4 an improper fraction</u>
1 1/4 = 5/4
<u>2. Then divide 5/4 by 5/8 (KCF - </u><u>Keep</u><u> the 5/4 - </u><u>Change</u><u> the division sign to multiplication - '</u><u>Flip' </u><u>5/8 to 8/5)</u>
5/4 x 8/5 = 40/20
<u>3. Simplify the fraction (divide the numerator and denominator by 20)</u>
40/20 = 2
<u>4. Final answer:</u>
2 (bowls of soup)
