Answer: width = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. It means that the width of the rectangle is (L - 2) units.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the rectangle is 35 units. It means that

L(L - 2) = 35

L² - 2L = 35

L² - 2L - 35 = 0

L² + 5L - 7L - 35 = 0

L(L + 5) - 7(L + 5) = 0

L - 7 = 0 or L + 5 = 0

L = 7 or L = - 5

Since the length cannot be negative, then

L = 7 units

Width = 7 - 2 = 5 units

kogti [31]

Answer:

Rs.64

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Amount of oranges:</u>

  • 150 kg

<u>Oranges sold:</u>

  • 150 - 18 = 132 kg

<u>Money made:</u>

  • 132* 80 = Rs. 10560

<u>Selling price of 150 kg:</u>

  • 10560/150 = Rs. 70.4

<u>Cost price:</u>

  • x+10% = 70.4
  • x*1.1= 70.4
  • x= 70.4/1.1
  • x= Rs.64
  • Cost price of oranges= Rs. 64

Line JM intersects line GK at point N. Which statements are true about the figure? Check all that apply.
ki77a [65]
See attached image

First, we must know this: Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is equal to 90°, while supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is equal to 180°. That been said, the only statement which is true is the second statement, <span>MNL is complementary to KNL

Reasons why others are False
</span>GNJ is supplementary to JNK, not complementary
MNG is supplementary to GNJ, not complementary
LNJ (not KNJ) <span>is supplementary to MNL
</span>GNM is equal to JNK, not supplementary

user100 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not perfectly linear because the difference between the y values is not constant. However, when you use the regression function on your calculator and enter the L1 values as your x's and the L2 values as your y's and use the LinReg equation, you get an r-squared value of .999900 and an r value of .999950. So it linear, with your answer being "linear, because the r value for the linear model is closest to 1".
