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

13f + 6 -f = -3 <br><br> help?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

f = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

13f + 6 -f = -3

Combine like terms

12f +6 = -3

Subtract 6 from each side

12f+6-6 = -3-6

12f = -9

Divide each side by 12

12f/12 = -9/12

f = -3/4

8. which of the following ordered pairs is a solution of the given system of linear equations
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Option D The solution of the system is the point (-3,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x+y=2 -----> equation A

y=-2x-1 ------> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute the equation B in equation A and solve for x

x+(-2x-1)=2

-x-1=2

x=-2-1

x=-3

Find the value of y

y=-2x-1

y=-2(-3)-1

y=5

therefore

The solution of the system is the point (-3,5)
