LW = A
L(L - 3) = 18
L^2 - 3L - 18 = 0
(L - 6) (L + 3) = 0
L could be 6 or -3 ( -3 cannot be a length of a side of a rectangle since it’s negative.)
So L = 6 and W= 3
Nine wholes with five twelves
9 5/12
The correct answer is 140 because the mean, average, number from July per day represents how many people would have visited each day if they were all even.
If there were 20 more people each day in August, the mean would be 140. This would represent how many people visited each day.
Let's set up two equations:
x+y=20 We know she brought total of 20, some of each so x=small y=big
20x+ 30y=450
x+y= 20
-y -y
------------
x= 20 -y
substitute into the other equation:
20 (20-y) + 30y = 450
400 - 20y + 30y = 450
400+ 10 y = 450
10 y = 50
y= 5
So she brought 5 big cases. Then substitute the value of y into one of the equations.
5+ x = 20
x= 15
So we bought 15 small cases and 5 big cases.

The answer is 7/4 I added my work there sorry if it’s kinda messy
