<h3>Trina uses 3.44 or

pints of white paint</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Trina uses 8.6 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls
3/5 of the amount is blue paint, and the rest is white paint
From given,
3/5 of 8.6 pints is blue paint

Thus, 2/5 of 8.6 pints is white paint
<em><u>How many pints of white paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls?
</u></em>

Thus she uses 3.44 or 17.2/5 pints of white paint
Here,
let width(b)be x then,
length (l)=9cm+x
area =112 sq cm
now,
area of rectangle=l*b
or, 112=(9+x)x
or, 112=9x+x^2
or, 0=x^2+9x-112
or, 0=x^2+(16-7)x-112
or, 0=x^2+16x-7x-112
or, 0=x(x+16)-7(x+16)
or, 0=(x-7)(x+16)
either,
0=x-7
or,7=x
x=7cm
Or,
0=x+16
or, -16=x
x= -16[impossible,as distance is never negative] so,
x=7cm
therefore,length = 7cm + 9 cm = 16cm and width = 7cm.
