Answer:
James needs to earn 78 more dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you add up all of the money James has earned, (1 + 7 + 14), it equals 22. If you subtract 22 from 100, it equals 78. Therefore James needs to earn 78 more dollars.
Let the width be : x
length : (2x - 6)
(2x - 6) (x) = 2x square - 6x
2x square - 6x = 140
2x square - 6x - 140 = 0
if you use the cross method or calculator you’ll get :
( x - 10 ) ( x + 7) = 0
x = 10 or x = -7 ( reject because negative )
so we use x = 10.
width = 10
length = 2(10) - 6 = 14
