<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)

To the nearest tenth the value of x that satisfies 2x = −2x + 11 is
olganol [36]

Answer:

2.8 (from 2.75 because of rounding)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = -2x + 11

Add 2x on both sides

4x = 11

Divide 4 on both sides

x = 11/4

x = 2.75

Round to nearest tenth

x is about 2.8

A closed box has a square base with side length feet and height feet given that the volume of the box is 34 ft.³ express the sur
Deffense [45]

Answer:

\dfrac{2s^3+136}{s}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side length of the square base =s feet

Let the height of the box = h

Given that the volume of the box = 34$ ft^3

Volume of the box =s^2h

Then:

s^2h=34$ ft^3\\$Divide both sides by s^2\\h=\dfrac{34}{s^2}

Surface Area of a Rectangular Prism =2(lb+bh+lh)

Since we have a square base, l=b=s feet

Therefore:

Surface Area of our closed box= 2(s^2+sh+sh)

S$urface Area= 2s^2+4sh\\Recall: h=\dfrac{34}{s^2}\\$Surface Area= 2s^2+4s\left(\dfrac{34}{s^2}\right)\\=2s^2+\dfrac{136}{s}\\$Surface Area in terms of length only=\dfrac{2s^3+136}{s}
