Question

The width of a rectangle is the length minus 6 units the area of the rectangle is 27 units

Answer 1

length = 9 units

Explanation:

l = length

n - 6 = width

A = n(n - 6)

A = n² - 6n

27 = n² - 6n

n² - 6n - 27 = 0

(n + 3)(n - 9) = 0

n = -3, n = 9

length must be 9 because it cannot be a negative value
