Step-by-step explanation:

If we let the width be w, then the length is w+3.5.

This means that w(w+3.5)=11

w^2 + 3.5w - 11 = 0

2w^2 + 7w - 22 = 0 (multiply both sides by 2)

(2w+11)(w-2)=0

w = -11/2 or w = 2 (disregard w = -11/2 as distance is positive)

This means that w=2, and thus the length is 2+3.5=5.5

Given that:

James is 6 times older than his friend Zach, if Zach added 8 to his age and multiplied this sum by 3 .

To find:

The equation that can be used to solve for zach's age.

Solution:

Let the age of zach be Z.

Zach added 8 to his age = Z+8

And multiplied this sum by 3 = 3(Z+8)

James is 6 times older than his friend Zach = 6Z

Now,

6Z=3(Z+8)

6Z-3Z=24

3Z=24

Divide both sides by 3.

Z=8

Therefore, the required equation is 6Z=3(Z+8) is age of zach is 8 years.
