* W = 300 sq ft

Length is 10 ft greater than twice the width.
L = 2W + 10
Substituting
(2W+10)*W = 300
2W^2 + 10W = 300
Divide both sides by 2
W^2 + 5W = 150
W^2 + 5W - 150 = 0
Factor
(W +15)(W -10) = 0</span></span>

Roots are W=-15 and W=10.
A negative width is impossible, so W=10
L = 2W + 10
L = 2(10) + 10
L = 30</span></span>
length = 30 feet, width = 10 feet
<span> Check:
30*10 = 300</span>
The value of 2 in 2481 is 1000 less times the value of 2 in 5072
Alright, so in PEMDAS, we first do exponents. 3^2=9, and we then have 5(9)-3(3)+2. After that, we have multiplication, where we have 5*9 =45 and 3*3=9, resulting in 45-9+2 and eventually 38
If my calculations are correct, Colton swam 288 yards. Really hope this helps.
