A = l x w
so you know that the length is 3m longer than the width, so you could use a formula to represent that
w = l + 3
you then substitute the second equation into the first to solve for l
70 = l x (l +3)
70 = l^2 + 3l
you could then rearrange the formula and solve for l using the quadratic formula
0 = l^2 + 3l - 70
l = -3 +- (square root (3)^2 - 4(1)(70)) / 2(1)
l = -3 +- (square root 9 + 280) / 2
l = -3 +- (square root 289) / 2
l = -3 +- 17 / 2
then you solve for the two seperate roots
l = -3 + 17 /2
l = 14 / 2
l = 7
or
l = -3 - 17 / 2
l = -20 / 2
l = -10
since a length cannot be negative, this root is not viable. therefore l = 7
to solve for w you would use
w = l + 3
w = 7 + 3
w = 10

Hey,
So first we are told that they charg a fixed fee of 25:00 right?That means even if you didn’t send any text messages you still have to pay 25:00.
So first we have to subtract that 25:00 form 58.25 right?This means the rest of the bill is for text messages OK?
So he spent 33.25(this is the answer to the subtraction) on the text messages right?
And for every text he sent he was charged 0.35 right? So we have to divide 33.25 by 0.35 right?
And that gets us 95.
Now we can double check the answer by multiplieng 95 by 0.35 and adding 25.
So th answer is 95
Hope this helps !!
/ (divided by) I think it is right
Answer:
68 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A square with area 289 ft² has sides √289 = 17 ft long. There are 4 of them so the perimeter is 4×17 ft = 68 feet.
Mr. Drew needs 68 feet of wood for the sides of the sandbox.
The answer would be A, 21. This is because 16 is 2/3 of 24 and 14 is 2/3 of 21
