Answer:
A=L*W
Let w be width
L=(w+6)
40=(w+6)*w
40= w^{2} +6w
w^{2} +6w-40=0
w^{2}+10w-4w-40=0
w(w+10)-4(w+10)=0
(w-4)(w+10)=0
w=4
Length= 10 units
Width=4 units

Answer:
32.4
Step-by-step explanation:
prior + 8.1 = 40.5 . . . . . . seems to model the problem statement

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>
When you're talking about a percentage increase in a percentage, it is almost never clear whether you're talking about the percentage of the underlying number, or the percentage of the percentage.
Here, we assume the 8.1 is a percentage of working students, not a percentage of the percentage of workings students. If you actually intend the latter, the percentage before the increase was about 37.465%.
2/2 is 1
You take the 1 and divide it by 4, 1/4
Your final answer is 1/4
