The width of a rectangle is the length minus 5 units. The area of the rectangle is 6 units. What is the width, in units, of the rectangle?

Width of the rectangle is 1 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle = length × width

6 = x (x - 5)

6 = x² - 5x

x² - 5x - 6 = 0

x² - 6x + x - 6 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)

x(x - 6) + 1(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

x = -1, 6 (negative value is neglected)

x = 6 units

x - 5 = 1 unit

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.
