Answer:

Lenght=50 feet.

Width=44 feet.


Step-by-step explanation:

1.  He wants the width of his new garden to be 6 less than the length, this can be expressed as following:

W=L-6

Where W is the width L is the length.

2. The perimeter of a rectangle can be calculated with:

P=2L+2W

3. You know the perimeter, therefore, you can substitute W=L-6 into the equation of the perimeter and solve for the length:

2L+2(L-6)=188\\2L+2L-12=188\\4L=200\\L=50 (The length is 50 feet)

3. Then, the width is:

W=L-6

W=50-6=44 (The width is 44 feet)

The product of two consecutive integers is 56.find the the integers.
defon

Let, the integers = x,(x+1)

x*(x+1) = 56

x²+x = 56

x²+x-56 = 0

x²+8x-7x-56=0

x(x+8)-7(x+8)=0

x+8= 0  OR x-7=0

x = -8 OR x = 7

it would be -8 & -7 or 7 & 8
