Answer:
width = 2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length of a rectangle is (x) units, then that means that the width of a rectangle is x - 4 units.
the area of a rectangle is length * width
so just substitute the values that we have now.
x (length) * (x-4) width = 12 (area of rectangle)
so that gives us
x^2 - 4x =12
subtract 12 from both sides
x^2 - 4x - 12 =0
now factor this equation
x^2 + 2x - 6x -12 = 0
x(x+2) - 6(x+2) = 0
(x-6)(x+2) = 0
x = 6, or x = -2 REMEMBER THAT VALUE OF x = LENGTH, IT CANNOT BE NEGATIVE AS YOU CANT HAVE NEGATIVE VALUE OF A SIDE
length = 6, and width = 6 -4 = 2
<span> C. No, Henry did not get a reasonable amount of apples because he needed 2.5 more pounds of apples (2.5 + 2.5 = 5).

No because (0,1) isn't a solution for both equations. It is for the first one, but not the second.

Three consecutive odd integers are n, n+2 and n+4
n + n+2 + n+4 = -87
3n + 6 = -87
3n = -87 - 6
3n = -93
n = -93/3
n = -31
n+2 = -31 + 2 = -29
n+4 = -31 + 4 = -27
The numbers are -31, -29 and -27
