Answer:
The width of the floor is 10 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to form expressions of width and length in terms of w. With the given information :
width = w ft
length = (w - 2) ft
Given that the area of rectange is A = length × width so you have to subtitute the expressions and value into the formula :
A = l × w
80 = (w - 2) × w
w(w - 2) = 80
w² - 2w = 80
w² - 2w - 80 = 0
(w + 8)(w - 10) = 0
w + 8 = 0
w = -8 (rejected)
w - 10 = 0
w = 10

To find the 7th term, all you have to do is plug it in the equation.
First n would equal 7 because we are looking for the 7th term.
Now, let's plug everything we know into the equation.
a7 = 2+5 * (7-1)
= 2 + 5 * 6
= 2 + 30
= 32
In conclusion, the 7th term would equal 32.
