Width = x
Length = x +2
Perimeter = 24
Area = Width • Length = ?

Perimeter = 24 = 2(x +2) + 2(x)
= 2x + 4 + 2x
= 4x + 4
= 20 = 4x
= 5 = x

Width = x = 5, therefore Length = (5) + 2 = 7

Area = Width • Length = 5 • 7 = 35

Area = 35 yards

Kate and Jean paint a house together in 6 days. If they work alone, Kate takes 5 fewer days than Jean would take to do the same
navik [9.2K]
X = number of days it would take Kate to paint the house by herself. .
<span>x+5 = number of days it would take Jean to paint the house by herself.</span>
<span>Together, they paint the house in 6 days: </span>
<span>1/x + 1/(x+5) = 1/6 </span>
<span>Multiply both sides by 6x(x+5) </span>
<span>6(x+5) + 6x = x(x+5) </span>
<span>12x + 30 = x^2 + 5x </span>
<span>x^2 − 7x − 30 = 0 
</span>therefore the answer is A.
