We know that
the area of a rectangle=length*width
let
length=x-3
width=x+8 
area=42 ft²
so
42=(x-3)*(x+8)----------> x²+8x-3x-24=42--------> x²+5x-66=0

using  a graph tool-------> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure 
the solution is 
x=6
hence

length=x-3------> 6-3-----> 3 ft
width=x+8 ------> 6+8----> 14 ft

the answer is
<span>the dimensions of the rectangle are 3 ft x 14 ft</span>

Answer:

"Making a Budget" has half a person, which represents half of 50, which is 25. "Good Spending Habits" have a whole extra half which would be 25 more, because "Making a Budget" has 175, and "Good Spending Habits" has 200. if you subtract that, you get 25 more people at "Good Spending Habits", then "Making a Budget", therefore, its true.

Also i already had this written up but i copied it so i can see you comment. hope this helps!
