This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.
Area of a rectangle:
The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:
w(2w + 3) = 9
From this, we get that:
Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots 
such that 
, given by the following formulas:
In this question:
Thus a quadratic equation with 
Then
Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

Answer:
b. is $34 per ounce
Step-by-step explanation:
If the production cost were less, a competitor would drive the price down. If the production cost were more, the supplier would go out of business.
Since we're at equilibrium, the production cost must be equal to $34 per ounce.
Answer:
<em>The estimated sales were $260 million</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the endpoints of a segment are (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
The midpoint (xm,ym) is calculated as follows:
The sales ov Cars, Inc. were (2008,240 million) and (2010,280 million). We need to use the midpoint to estimate the sales in 2009:
The estimated sales were $260 million
Rewrite this symbolically: 6(2/6) = 12/6 = 2 (answer)
An equally good approach would be to cancel the 6's, obtaining 2 (answer)
