Let x be the width
2x-3= length
(2x-3)(x)=14
2x^2-3x=14
2x^2-3x-14=0
(2x- 7)(x+2)=0
x=7/2 or x=-2
Since we know that negative values cannot exist in distance, we have to take 7/2 to as the correct answer.
The width would be 3.5 yards
Length= 2(3.5)-3
=4 yards
3.5 x 4 yards is the dimension of the rectangle
Hope I helped :)
Answer:
-2x^2-8x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio is basically finding the quotient of two numbers. If you want to find the ratio of horses to cows, divide the number of horses to that of cows.
Ratio = 18/27
When expressing it to its simplest form, make sure it is reduced. 18 and 27 are both factors of 9. So,
Ratio = 9*2/9*3
Cancelling out 9, the ratio at its simplest form is: <em>2/3</em>
Answer:
21/4 or 5.25

Answer:
he had 44 books before he bought those 6
Step-by-step explanation:
If you multiply 6 times 2 it is 12, which means if you take away 12 from 100 that is 88. if you divided 88 by 2 (the same thing you did to the 6 to make it 12%) that would be 44.
