1. The problem says that the television has a rectangular shape. So, the formula for caculate the area of a rectangle is:
A=LxW
"A" is the area of the rectangle (A=3456 inches²).
"L" is the the length of the rectangle.
"W" is the width of the rectangle.
2. The <span>width of the screen is 24 inches longer than the length. This can be expressed as below:
W=24+L
3. Then, you must substitute </span>W=24+L into the formula A=LxW:
<span>
</span>A=LxW
<span> 3456=L(24+L)
3456=24L+L</span>²
<span>
4. The quadratic equation is:
L</span>²+24L-3456=0
5. When you solve the quadratic equation, you obtain:
L=48 inches
6. Finally, you must substitute the value of the length, into W=24+L:
W=24+L
W=24+48
W=72 inches
7. Therefore, the dimensions of the screen are:
L=48 inches
W=72 inches<span> </span>

There can be 6 teams because 2 is the lowest number that can go into both 12 and 18. (12/2) = 6...and I know (18/2 = 9) but there wouldn't be enough boys to make 9 teams
there will be 6 teams each containing (12/6) = 2 boys and (18/6) = 3 girls
