Answer:

The width is .16 miles and the length is .3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the area formula for a rectangle and the fact that the length = .14 + w.  Your formula will look like this then:

.048 = w(.14 + w)

Distribute through the parenthesis to get

.048=.14w+w^2

Get everything on one side of the equals sign and set the whole equal to 0:

0=w^2+.14w-.048

Let's multiply everything by 1000 to get rid of those decimals:

0=1000w^2+140w-48

Now we need to factor that to solve for w:

w = .16 and w = -.3

Since the two things in math that will never ever be negative are distance measures and time, we can safely disregard the -.3.  That means that the width is .16 and the length is ,16 + .14 which is .3.  There you go!

A toy company had an order of five boxes to ship unfortunately this was 17 pounds over the shipping weight limit per order of ea
pochemuha

Answer:

28 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a total of 5 boxes, now we know that each box weighs 9 pounds, therefore:

Total weight = 5 * 9 = 45 pounds

Which means there are 45 pounds in total.

We are told that the limit is exceeded by 17 pounds. To find the limit weight, it is necessary to subtract the total weight and the excess:

45-17 = 28 pounds

Therefore, the maximum weight allowed per shipment is 28 pounds.
