Answer:

L = 6, w = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width of rectangle

Let L = length of rectangle

w = L - 4

Area of rectangle = Lw

L (L - 4) = 12

L^2 - 4L = 12

L^2 - 4L - 12 = 0

(L - 6)(L + 2) = 0

L - 6 = 0

L = 6 (the other option doesn't work because dimensions can't be negative)

w = L - 4

w = 6 - 4

w = 2

Double check

A = Lw

A = 6 x 2

A = 12

It matches so we are right.

Find a value of x that makes the equation true:<br> -(-2x + 1) = 9 – 14x
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

x=0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

-(-2x+1)=9-14x

distribute:

2x-1=9-14x

add  1 to both sides

2x = 10-14x

add 14x to both sides

16x=10

divide by 16 to isolate x

x = 0.625

check:

-(-2(0.625)+1) = 9-14(0.625)

0.25 = 0.25

How can you actually divide numbers without subtraction?
Tamiku [17]

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h>

// Function to perform division (x / y) of two numbers x and y. // without using division operator in the code. int divide(int x, int y)

{ // handle divisibility by 0. if (y == 0)

{ printf("Error!! Divisible by 0"); exit(1);

} // store sign of the result.

int sign = 1; if (x * y < 0)
