<h3>Answer:</h3>

Length: 12 yd

Width: 5.5 yd

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let x represent the width of the rectangle in yards. Then 2x+1 can represent the length (double the width plus 1 yard). The area is the product of length and width so we have the relation ...

... x(2x+1) = 66

... 2x² +x -66 = 0

This can be solved using any of several methods. One of them is to factor the equation. To do that, we can look for factors of 2·66 = 132 that differ by 1. Since 132 = 11·12, those are the numbers we're looking for. Then ...

... 2x² +12x -11x -66 = 0 . . . . use our found numbers to rewrite the x term

... 2x(x +6) -11(x +6) = 0 . . . . .factor by grouping

... (2x -11)(x +6) = 0

... x = 11/2 or -6 . . . . . values that make the factors zero. Only the positive value is a useful solution.

... The width of the rectangle is 5.5 yards. Its length is 2·5.5+1 = 12 yards,

First do inside the parenthesis first.

When dividing two exponents subtract them.

15-5 = 10

So w^15 / w^5 becomes w^10


Now you have (w^10)^4

Now multiply the exponents:

10 x 4 = 40

Final answer is w^40
