4 is missing I assume. But I could be wrong
-2a
Step-by-step explanation:
steps:1. first write the question again : 8ab/-4b
2.first 8 divide by -4=-2
3.write ' a' with -2because u don't have another 'a' down belowso that u can pair it up and cancel
so: -2a.
4. cancel 'b' on top and 'b' at the bottom.
Now the width is w.
It's twice as long as wide, so now the length is 2w.
If the length is increased by 4 cm, the length will be 2w + 4.
The width is decreased by 3 cm, so the width will be w - 3.
The are of the new rectangle is 100 cm^2.
area = length * width
area = (2w + 4)(w - 3)
The area of the new rectangle is 100, so we get
(2w + 4)((w - 3) = 100
2w^2 - 6w + 4w - 12 = 100
2w^2 - 2w - 112 = 0
w^2 - w - 56 = 0
(w - 8)(w + 7) = 0
w - 8 = 0 or w + 7 = 0
w = 8 or w = -7
A width cannot be negative, so discard w = -7.
w = 8
The width is 8 cm.
The length is twice the width, so the length is 16 cm.
