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.

Brooke saved the same amount of money each week for four weeks. She made this table to show how much money she saved.
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

In 10 weeks of time, Brooke would  earn $ 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, according to the table:

The money saved in week 1   =  $ 2   =   $(1  x 2)

The money saved in week 2  =  $ 4   =  $ ( 2 x 2)

The money saved in week 3   =  $ 6  =  $ ( 3 x 2)

The money saved in week 4   =  $ 8 =   $ ( 4 x 2)

So, by the graph relation, we can see that:

The amount saved in n weeks = ( n x 2) dollars

So, the amount saved by Brooke in 10 weeks is:

Put n =  10, we get:

The money saved  = 2 n = 2 x 10 = $ 20

Hence, in 10 weeks of time, Brooke would  earn $ 20.

What is one third plus one seventh
Kryger [21]
To do this, change into common denominators.  The common denominator is 21 so change the problem from 1/3 + 1/7 to 7/21 + 3/21.  This gives you 10/21.  It is already in simplest form.
