Answer:

Width=4.7 ft

Length=16.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the table to be x ft

Then the length should be two more than three times the width= 2+3x ft

The area of the serving table should be 75 ft²

But you know the area of this table is calculated by multiplying the length by the width of the table

Hence, Area= length× width

Length=x ft  and width =2+3x ft

75ft²= (x ft) × (2+3x ft)

75=x*(2+3x)\\\\75=2x+3x^2\\\\3x^2+2x-75=0

Apply the quadratic formula to solve this quadratic equation

The formula is ;

x= (-b ±√b²-4ac)÷2ac

where a=3, b=2 and c=-75

x= (-2 ± √2²-4×3×-75)÷(2×3)

x=(-2±√4+900)÷6

x=(-2±√904)÷6

x=(-2±30.1)÷6

x=(-2+30.1)÷6=4.683⇒4.7(nearest tenth)

or

x=(-2-30.1)÷6= -32.1÷6=-5.35⇒ -5.4

Taking the positive value

x=width =4.7 ft

2+3x= length= 2+3(4.7)=16.1 ft

Norma-Jean [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

she hopped 10560 MI to the lake because the remaining miles was the 7040 miles without her baby and if you do 7040 (the 2/3s) divided by 2 you would get 3520 which is the 1/3 of the distance to the lake so 7040 miles + 3520 miles equals 10560 miles hopped to the lake. Hope this helped ^_^
