Answer 2

Whats the question?

Answer 3

sorry it wasnt coming up at first

Answer 4

first find the multiples of 24

Answer 5

lol it's fine xD

Answer 6

sorry but my submit button is blocked and i not can sending to nobody message just writing where he or she help - thank you - yes this is true that i m from Central Europe ,country Hungary ,capital city Budapest - and i not learned never English language all what i know was learned alone from books and internet - from here OS. too -

Answer 7

for your help in case of your above exercise i think will be more ussefully than you try drawing it

Answer 8

do you know formula for area of a rectangle ?

Answer 9

A=w*l

Answer 10

yes - right

try writing it using these given dates for A=24 so than how will be ?

Answer 11

so than there is w=(2n-2)-3 and l=2n how will be formula for area in this case ?

Answer 12

in this case

A = 2n*(2n-5)

24 = 4n^2 -10n

4n^2 -10n -24 =0 divide both sides by 2

2n^2 -5n -12 =0 do you can solving this quadratic please ?

Answer 13

Answer 14

n=−3/2 or n=4

Answer 15

dear @AloneS for n=-3/2 do you think it really true that in case of geometry a length side can being minus how many ? so i think not possibile
than remain n=4
so in this case for n=4 how will get these lengths of sides please ?
