The amount of money Elena has to give Priya so she has 3 times Elena's balance is $12
<u>Given the Parameters</u> :
- Amount Elena has = $84
- Amount Priya has = $12
- Let the amount Elena gives out to Priya = p
<u>We can set up an expression thus</u> :
84 - p = 3(p + 12)
84 - p = 3p + 36
Collect like terms :
-p - 3p = 36 - 84
-4p = - 48
p = 48 / 4
p = 12
Therefore, Elena has to give $12 to Priya, so that Priya has 3 times the amount owned by Elena.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width of the rectangle. Then the length is 3w+1 and the area is ...
w(3w+1) = 52
3w² +w -52 = 0
To factor this equation, we need factors of 3·52 = 156 that have a difference of 1. These values are 12 and 13, so we can rewrite the equation as ...
3w² +13w -12w -52 = 0
w(3w +13) -4(3w +13) = 0
(w -4)(3w +13) = 0
The positive value of w that makes a factor zero is ...
w = 4
Then the length is 3w+1 = 3(4) +1 = 13.
The length is 13 ft; the width is 4 ft.
