<span>A = LW = 44
and
L = 3 + 2W
now substitute this into the first equation...
(3+2W)W=44
3W+2W^2=44

Rearranging
2W^2 + 3W - 44 = 0
Factoring we get
(2W + 11)(W - 4) = 0
so that
W = 4 inches
L = 11 inches</span>

Let width = x   then length  = 2x + 3

so area = 119 = x(2x + 3)

2x^2 + 3x - 119 = 0
(2x + 17)(x - 7)  
x = 7 , -8.5
so x = 7   ( -8.5 can be ignored)

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

a) 7x^2 + 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

(9x^2 + 8x) – (2x^2 + 3x)

Distribute the minus sign

(9x^2 + 8x) – 2x^2 - 3x

Line them up vertically

A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. There are twice as many women then there are men. There are 6 more child
weqwewe [10]

Answer: 16 men

32 women

38 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of men in the group.

Let y represent the number if women in the group.

Let z represent the number of children in the group.

A group of 86 people consist of men women and children. This means that

x + y + z = 86 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

There are twice as many women than there are men. It means that

x = y/2

There are 6 more children than there are women. This means that

z = y + 6

Substituting x = y/2 and z = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y/2 + y + y + 6 = 86

multiplying through by 2, it becomes

y + 2y + 2y + 12 = 172

5y = 172 - 12 = 160

y = 160/5 = 32

x = y/2 = 32/2

x = 16

z = y + 6 = 32 + 6

z = 38
