width = w

length = w+4

Area = l*w

substitute

96 = (w+4) *w

distribute

96 = w^2 +4w

subtract 96 from both sides

0 = w^2 +4w -96

factor

0=(w+12) (w-8)

w+12=0 w-8=0

w=-12 w=8

cannot have negative width

w=8

l=12

Answer: width =8 cm

length = 12cm

Leni [432]

Answer:

n=14/9

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4n+2/3=11/6

3/4n=11/6-2/3

3/4n=11/6-4/6

3/4n=7/6

n=(7/6)/(3/4)

n=(7/6)(4/3)

n=28/18

simplify

n=14/9
