A rectangle has an area of 72 square units. The width of the rectangle is 9 units. The length of the rectangle is 2x + 4. What is the rectangle's length?
A. 6
B. 7
C. 8
D. 9

8

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plug in the answers it will give you 9x6= 54 which is wrong and 9x7=63 and 9x9=81 but 9x8=72.

C   length = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Rectangle = lw

A = lw    Substitute l = (2x + 4) ; w = 9

72 = (2x + 4)9

72 = 18x + 36

36 =        -36

36 = 18x

36/18 = x

 2 = x

 Substitute into l = 2x + 4 ; l = 2(2) + 4; l = 4 + 4 ; l = 8

hi there!

the answer to this question is d: 35

step-by-step explanation:

5 to the power of 2 is 25

2 multiplied by 5 is 10

then you add the 2 numbers and you get 35

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
