First, we know the formula for area is:
Area = Length* Width

Therefore, 128 = (3x+7)(x+5)

We can use the F.O.I.L method to multiply
- First: (3x *x )= 3x²
-Outer: (3x*5) = 15x
-Inner: (7*x) = 7x
-Last: (7*5) = 35

Now we add the sum → 3x² + 15x + 7x + 35 →  3x² + 22x + 35

3x²+ 22x + 35 = 128
3x²+ 22x -93 = 0

Now you have to factor to solve for the x value.
<span>(<span><span>3x</span>+31</span>)</span><span>(<span>x−3</span><span>)
</span></span>x = 3 & x = -31/3 

The negative value is eliminated because u can't have a negative length.

The length is 3x+7

L= 3(3) +7
L= 9+7
L= 16

Does anyone know the answer?
Helen [10]
The answer would be 60, if you add 13,15, and 12 up you get 40. Those numbers would be considered 2/3 of all the marbles. Divide 40 by 2 to get how many marbles is 1/3. You would get 20 being a third if the marbles. Add that to the original 40 and you’ll get a total of 60.
