Using the given information, we can say the following:
Width (W) = x
Length (L) = (2x - 4)
Area of Rectangle = L × W
Using this, we can formulate an equation for rectangle in question:
x(2x - 4) = 30
Expand and move everything to one side:
2x² - 4x - 30 = 0
Simplify by dividing everything on both sides by 2:
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Factorise:
(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5 (a dimension cannot be negative so this is not the solution we want)
x - 3 = 0
x = 3 (this is the solution)
x = W = 3"
L = 2x - 4
L = 2(3) - 4
L = 2"

So, the length the rectangle is 2" and the width is 3"

BigorU [14]

Answer:

2 cakes with the sugar she has and there will still be some sugar left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of sugar in the cabinet of Cassie = 1/2 pound

Amount of sugar required by Cassie to make her cake recipe = 2/10 pound

                                                                                                  = 1/5 pounds

Then

The number of cakes that Cassie can make = (1/2)/(1/5)

                                                                       = 5/2

                                                                       = 2 1/2
