Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lw

l = w + 2

48 = lw

48 = (w + 2)w

48 = w² + 2w

0 = w² + 2w - 48

Quadratic equation results =

w = 6 or w = -8

But the measure could not be negative, therefore w = 6

Can anybody tell me how to solve this
Lyrx [107]
The answer to your question is:  Yes, someone undoubtedly can.

Although you haven't asked to be told or shown how to solve it, I'm here
already, so I may as well stick around and go through it with you.


The sheet is telling you to find the solutions to two equations, AND THEN
DO SOMETHING WITH THE TWO SOLUTIONS.  But you've cut off the
instructions in the pictures, so all we have are the two equations, and
you'll have to figure out what to do with their solutions.

<u>First equation:</u>
                                   (2/5) x - 6 = -2
Add 6 to each side:
                                   (2/5) x = 4
Multiply each side by 5:
                                   2x = 20
Divide each side by 2 :
                                     <u>x = 10</u>

<u>Second equation:</u>
                                   -3y + 1/4 = 13/4
Subtract 1/4 from each side:
                                   -3y = 12/4
Multiply each side by 4 :
                                -12 y = 12
Divide each side by -12 :
                                      <u> y = -1</u>
