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.

L = w + 9

lw = 112

Substitute l = w + 9 into the second equation

(w + 9)(w) = 112

w^2 + 9w - 112 = 0
(w+16)(w-7) = 0

w = -16
or
w = 7

we have to take the positive value, so  w = 7

l = w + 9
l = 7 + 9
l = 16

The length is 16, and the width is 7

1).  $2,700 is  (2,700/6,000) = 45% of  6,000.

      It took 6 years to earn it, so it earned (45%/6) = 7.5% each year.
      That's the simple-interest rate.

2).  The investment earns 4.5% each year, so it earned 9% in 2 years.

      The $1,150.65 is the 9% of the original investment.  Call it V.

      1150.65 = 0.09 x V .

Divide each side by 0.09 :

         V  =  1150.65 / 0.09  =  $12,785 .

3).  There are 18 marbles in the bag all together.

a).  8 of them are green.  If you close your eyes and pull out 1 marble,
the probability that it's a green one is
                                                               8/18 = 4/9  =  44.4% .

b).  If it was a red marble, and you put it in your pocket, then
there are only 17 in the bag now, and 8 of them are still green.

If you pull another one, the probability that it's green is

                                                               8/17  =  47.1% .

5).  There are 10 marbles in the bag all together.
(The second sentence doesn't say anything, and doesn't mean anything.)

If you pull out a silver marble and put it in your pocket, then
there are 9 marbles in the bag, and 2 of them are orange.

The probability of pulling an orange marble now is

                                  2/9  =  22.2% .
