Answer:

Answer:

The width is 4 units, and the length is 10 units.

Step-by-step.

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle = length * width

Let L = length; let W = width.

"The length is 6 units greater than the width.": L = W + 6

area = LW = 40

Since L = W + 6, we substitute L with W + 6.

(W + 6)W = 40

W^2 + 6W = 40

W^2 + 6W - 40 = 0

(W - 4)(W + 10) = 0

W - 4 = 0 or W + 10 = 0

W = 4 or W = -10

A width cannot be a negative number, so we discard the solution W = -10.

W = 4

L = W + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10

The width is 4 units, and the length is 10 units.

Kati has of a bag of frozen fruit. She used of the fruit to make smoothies. Which equation represents the amount of fruit Kati u

shutvik [7]

Answer:

The amount of frozen fruit used to make smoothies is equal to the total number of frozen fruits minus the remainder of fruits after making smoothies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Total number of frozen fruits = F

Let the amount of frozen fruits used for making smoothies = S

The remaining frozen fruits = R

Then

F - S = R

To get the amount of frozen fruits used to make smoothies, we make S the subject of the formula.

-S = R - F

S = F - R

That is, the amount of frozen fruit used to make smoothies is equal to the total number of frozen fruits minus the remainder of fruits after making smoothies.
