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

Bryce grows a sunflower that contains 1,354 sunflower seeds. Six people share the harvested seeds. If they share the seeds equal
iragen [17]

Answer: 4 seeds will left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total sunflower seeds = 1354

Number of people shared sunflower  seeds equally = 6

By division operation,

Number of seeds each people will get = (Total sunflower  seeds) ÷ (Number of people shared seeds equally)

= (1354) \div (6)

=225\dfrac{4}{6}

Hence, each people will get 256 sunflower seeds and 4 seeds will left.

The ages of three children in a family can be expressed as consecutive integers. The square of the age of the youngest child is
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: 10, 11, & 12

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the age of the youngest child.  

Their ages are consecutive so,

Youngest: x

Middle: x + 1

Oldest: x + 2

The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.

x² = 8(x + 2) + 4

x² = 8x + 16 + 4

x² = 8x + 20

x² - 8x - 20 = 0

(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0

x - 10 = 0     or      x + 2 = 0

  x = 10       or          x = -2

Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid

So, the Youngest (x) is 10

the Middle (x + 1) is 11

and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12
