E, because he is stealing everything, meaning he has a net profit. So, you would add everything. Since he 280 $1 bills, he just stole $280 which is a definite quantity, so we don't need a variable for it. Since everything else are indefinite quantities, we need variables (x, y, z). But, yeah, E should be the answer.
LW = A
L(L - 3) = 18
L^2 - 3L - 18 = 0
(L - 6) (L + 3) = 0
L could be 6 or -3 ( -3 cannot be a length of a side of a rectangle since it’s negative.)
So L = 6 and W= 3
<u><em>The additive identity property </em></u>. . . is being used here because no matter what the value is, whenever you add zero (0) to it, you'll always get the value your started with.
(1) -(5y - 2)= -5y+2
(2) -5 (3n + 1)= -15n - 5
(3) too long to do
