Let width of the floor be x feet, them area is
x(x+2)  = 168
x^2 + 2x - 168 = 0
(x - 12)(x + 14) - 0
so x = 12
the floor is 12 ft by 10 ft

the width of the rug should be 10 - 2(2) = 6 feet

5/7 of blueberry pie

Now we have to add up all of these in order to get the total amount of pie

3/7 + 2/7 +3/7 +5/7

= (3+2+3+5)/7

=13/7

If expressed as a mixed fraction
