Answer:

n = - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Eight plus the quotient of a number and 3 is −2

Expressing in mathematical terms, we have;

8 + (n/3) = -2

To solve for n;

Multiply all through by 3.

3*8   +   3(n/3)  = 3 * (-2 )

24 + n = - 6

n = -6 - 24

n = - 30

A rectangle has a length that is 7 inches less that twice it's width. The area of the rectangle is 72 square inches. Write an eq
Nitella [24]

Answer: 2x^2-7x=72 , where  x= width of the rectangle ( in inches).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= width of the rectangle ( in inches).

Then its length =  2x-7 ( in inches).

Area of rectangle = Length × width

= (2x-7) × (x)

= 2x × x -7 ×x

= 2x²-7x

The area of the rectangle is 72 square inches.

\Rightarrow\ 2x^2-7x=72

Hence, the equation that represents the given situation :

2x^2-7x=72
