Make them all fractions over 4, so 3 would be 12/4, and 1 1/4 would be 5/4 so add them together
12/4+5/4= 17/4 then divide by 4 to reduce it, to get 4 1/4
The inverse is just switching y and x your answer should be . p^-1 (m)=5m-40
Aida did not correctly divide by the common factor to get (4+8).

Length (L): w + 3 ⇒2(w + 3)
width (w): w ⇒ w - 1
Area (A) = L x w
A = (w + 3)(w)
A = w² + 3w
*******************************************
A + 176 = 2(w + 3)(w - 1)
(w² + 3w) + 176 = 2(w + 3)(w - 1)
w² + 3w + 176 = 2w² + 4w - 6
3w + 176 = w² + 4w - 6
176 = w² + w - 6
0 = w² + w - 182
0 = (w - 13) (w + 14)
0 = w - 13 0 = w + 14
w = 13 w = -14
Since width cannot be negative, disregard -14
w = 13
Length (L): w + 3 = (13) + 3 = 16
Answer: width = 13 in, length = 16 in
