Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The length of rectangle is 1 feet less than twice the width

So, let The width of rectangle = w feet

The length of rectangle = ( 2 w - 1 )  feet

The area of the rectangle = 21 feet²

Now,

∵ The area of the rectangle = length × width

Or, 21 feet² =  ( 2 w - 1 ) feet × w feet

or, 21 = 2 w² - w

or, 2 w² - w - 21 = 0

or, 2 w² + 6 w - 7 w - 21 = 0

or , 2 w ( w + 3 ) - 7 ( w + 3 ) = 0

or, ( w + 3 ) ( 2 w - 7 ) = 0

So, w = - 3 feet , \frac{7}{2} feet

here we consider only positive value of w i.e  \frac{7}{2} feet

∴ The length of rectangle = ( 2 w - 1 )  feet

or,  The length of rectangle = 2 × \frac{7}{2}  - 1

Or, The length of rectangle = 7 - 1 = 6 feet

Hence The length of the rectangle is 6 feet , Answer

If c = 8 and d = -5:

a) c - 3 = 8 - 3
= 5

b) 15 - c = 15 - 8
= 7

c) 3(c + d) = 3(8 + (-5))
= 3*3
= 9

d) 2c - 4d = 2(8) - 4(-5)
= 16 + 20
= 36

e) d - c^2 = -5 - (8)^2
= -5 - 64
= -69

f) 2d^2 + 5d = 2(-5)^2 + 5(-5)
= 50 - 25
= 25
