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

The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 8. If the digits are interchanged ,new number is 10 more than double the original
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Original number 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

xy - two-digit number

1) x + y = 8

2) Original two-digit number can be written as

10*x + y

3) If the digits interchanged yx,

then the new number can be written as

10*y + x

4)  Double the original number is

2*(10*x + y)

5) New number is 10 more than double the original number

(10*y + x) - (2*(10*x + y)) = 10

6) Now we have the system of 2 equations:

x + y = 8

(10*y + x) - (2*(10*x + y)) = 10 -----> 10y + x - (20x + 2y) = 10 ---> 8y - 19x = 10

x = 8 - y

8y - 19(8 - y) = 10

8y - 152 +19y = 10

27y = 162

y = 6

x = 8 - y = 8 - 6 = 2

x = 2

So, x =2, y = 6.

Original number 26.

Check:

Original number 26.

New number 62.

Double of the original number = 2*26= 52.

New number is 10 more than double the original number :

62 - 52 = 10 True

Which ratio is equivalent to 9/36
balandron [24]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the GCF. List out the factors of the numerator and the denominator. 1, 3, 9 are the factors of 9, while 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36 are the factors of 36. 9 is a common factor of both of them, so the GCF is 9.

Step 2: Divide the numerator and denominator by 9 (the GCF). 9/9 is 1. 36/9 is 4. This means that our fraction is 1/4. The fraction is in simplest form.
