The answer and work is in the SS below
Sole for f by simplifying both sides of the equation then isolating the variable so that means f=-40 over 3 for number one
for the second equation you do the same thing you did for number one and the answer will be
b=8
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.
area = L x w = 72
L = 2w
72 = 2w*w = 2w^2
divide by 2
36 = w^2
w = sqrt(36) = 6
l = 2*6 =12
perimeter = 2L +2W = 2*12 + 2*6 = 24+12 = 36
2.
sqrt(40)= 6.324555 cm ( round to 6.32 )
6.32 - 4 = 2.32 cm original length of a side
Answer:
12:28
Step-by-step explanation:
yesterday the ratio would be 6:14 so then you double that to get 12:28
