If we say:
x = the smaller numbers we want to find
y = the larger number we want to find
Then, we can formulate two equations using the information given:
x + y = 68 [1]
y - 4x = 3 [2]
Now, we can solve simultaneously:
Rearrange [1] & [2] in terms of y:
y = 68 - x [1]
y = 4x + 3 [2]
Now equate them and solve for x:
68 - x = 4x + 3
5x + 3 = 68
5x = 65
x = 13
Sub x-value into either [1] or [2]:
y = 68 - (13)
y = 55

A rectangle has a height of a² + 3 and a width of a² + 2a + 5.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Area =  a^4+2a^3+8a^2+6a+15

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by:

Area = Height * Width

The expressions for height and width are given. We just need to multiply and add like terms (if applicable) to find the expression for the area of the rectangle.

Remember to use distributive property:

(a+b)(x+y) = ax + ay + bx + by

Thus, we have:

(a^2+3)(a^2+2a+5)\\=(a^2)(a^2)+(a^2)(2a)+(a^2)(5)+3a^2+6a+15\\=a^4+2a^3+5a^2+3a^2+6a+15\\=a^4+2a^3+8a^2+6a+15

THis is the expression for area.
