Width of the rectangle is 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x. Then the length = x - 3. Find dimensions of the rectangle if its area = 54 sq. units

Area of the rectangle = length × width

54 = x (x - 3)

54 = x² - 3x

x² - 3x - 54 = 0

x² + 6x - 9x - 54 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)

x(x + 6) - 9(x + 6) = 0

(x + 6)(x - 9) = 0

x = -6, 9 (negative value is neglected)

x = 9 units

Zarrin [17]

22% liked neither.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

64% liked pop music.

52% liked rap music.

38% liked both type of music.

To find out the percentage of those liked neither.

Now,

Let, total number of student = 100

Number of students liked pop = 64

Number of students liked rap = 52

Number of students liked both = 38

So,

Number of students who liked only pop = 64-38 = 26

Number of students who liked only rap = 52-38 = 14

Hence,

Number of students who liked neither = 100 - (26+14+38) = 22

22% liked neither.

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

P(-2,7)

P'(-2,-7), ANSWER

reflection across the x-axis rule:

(×,y) ===> (x,-y)

Easy way to do this is draw the point on graph paper and count the same units above/below the x-axis. This example you are 7 units above the x-axis so you would count 7 units below the x-axis giving you the point.
