A = L * W
A = 320
L = W + 4

320 = W(W + 4)
320 = W^2 + 4W
W^2 + 4W = 320
W^2 + 4W + 4 = 320 + 4
(W + 2)^2 = 324
W + 2 = (+-) sqrt 324
W = -2 (+-) 18

W = -2 + 18 = 16 ft <== this is the width
W = -2 - 18 = -20....not this one because it is negative

L = W + 4
L = 16 + 4
L = 20 ft <=== this is the length

in summary...the width is 16 ft and the length is 20 ft

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

40 socks

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 48 socks in total inside the drawer. 2 pairs of white socks means four white socks. The worst possible scenario (however unlikely it is) is that Laura takes all of the red, blue and green socks before picking any white sock. From that point on, Laura has to pick four more socks in order to have two white pairs. In this scenario, there are 8 socks left in the drawer, all white. Therefore, the minimum number of socks that Laura must take to be sure that she has two pairs of white socks is:

n=(12*4) - 8\\n=40\ socks

She must take at least 40 socks.
