The floor of a shed given on the right has an area of 52 square feet. The floor is in the shape of a rectangle whose length is 5 feet less than twice the width. Find the length and the width of the floor of the shed.

13/2 feet width  and 8 feet length

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the area of a rectangle is as follows:

ar = l * w

we know that the value of the area is 52 ft ^ 2, therefore:

l * w = 52

According to the statement we have to:

x = width

2 * x - 5 = length

we replace in the area formula and we have to:

x * (2 * x - 5) = 52

We solve and we are left with:

2 * x ^ 2 - 5 * x - 52 = 0

Factoring the above we are left with:

(2 * x - 13) * (x + 4) = 0

(x + 4) = 0, it means that x = -4, a negative number, therefore this option cannot be.

2 * x - 13 = 0

x = 2/13, would be the width

the length:

2 * x - 5 = 2 * (2/13) - 5 = 8

What the measurements mean is 13/2 feet width  and 8 feet length

15

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to solve it and find the product:

-13 × (-5)

solving the given expression in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, beginning with the opening of brackets and then multiplying the terms and changing their signs.

-3 × -5 = 15 (answer is positive because when negative is multiplied with negative, it gives a positive answer)

i think it is c, not positive though
