Answer: Value of w is 4 units and the equation is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width of a rectangle be 'w'.

Let length of a rectangle be '2w+2'.

Since we have given that

Area of rectangle = 40 square units.

As we know the formula for "Area = Length × Breadth" :

So, it becomes,

40=w(2w+2)\\\\40=2w^2+2w\\\\20=w^2+w\\\\w^2+w-20=0\\\\w^2+5w-4w-20=0\\\\w(w+5)-4(w+5)=0\\\\(w+5)(w-4)=0\\\\either\ w=-5\ or\ w=4

But dimension can't be negative.

So, w must be 4 units.

Hence, Value of w is 4 units and the equation is correct.

Bria ordered 145 centimeters of fabric. Jayleen ordered 1.5 meters of fabric. Who ordered more fabric?
lubasha [3.4K]
Bria: 145 centimeters
Jayleen: 1.5 meters

I'm going to convert Jayleen's into centimeters:
1 meter has 100 centimeters

1.5 x 100 = 150 centimeters

so,
Bria:145 centimeters
Jayleen: 150 centimeters

So, Jayleen bought more fabric
