Answer:

9 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be represented by l - 5, where l is the length.

Use the area formula, A = lw, and plug in l - 5 as w, and 36 as the area. Then, simplify and factor

A = lw

36 = l(l - 5)

36 = l² - 5l

0 = l² - 5l - 36

Factor:

(l - 9)(l + 4)

Set equal to zero and solve for both solutions:

(l - 9)(l + 4) = 0

l - 9 = 0

l = 9

l + 4 = 0

l = -4

The length cannot be negative, so the answer has to be 9.

The length is 9 centimeters

I need help wit one & two please help
seropon [69]

23 is less than 25 which means it's closer to 20, so you would round it down to 20. 1.75 is over 0.50, 1/2, so you would round it up to 2. If you multiply 2 and 20 you would get 40.

Number two gets the same explanation just with different numbers.

How do we maintain the value of the equivalent fractions we create? Hint: I am referring to the numerator and denominator
Free_Kalibri [48]
<span>A fraction is normally expressed in its lowest form. It means that there is no common factor for the numerator and denominator. A common factor is a number that can divide both the numerator and the denominator without a remainder. A fraction in its lowest form can have any number of equivalent fractions. To create equivalent fractions, multiply both the denominator and the denominator by the same number. For example, 1/2 will become 2/4 when multiplied by 2 and 3/6 when multiplied by 3. We can use any number to multiply but we must multiply both the numerator and the denominator.</span>
