A rectangular shelf with an area equal to x^2-16x+60 square units could have which possible dimensions for length and width

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-16x+60

=x²-6x-10x+60

=x(x-6)-10(x-6)

=(x-6)(x-10)

so dimensions are x-6 and x-10.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
