L=2+W
A=LW
A=(2+W)W
20=2W+W^2
0=W^2+2W-20
use quadratic
fr
aw^2+bw+C=0
w=(-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

a=1
b=2
c=-20

w=(-2+/-sqrt(2^2-4(1)(-20)))/2(1)
w=(-2+/-sqrt(4+80))/2
w=(-2+/-sqrt(84))/2
w=(-2+/-2sqrt(21))/2
w=1+/-sqrt(21)
aprox
w=-3.58 or 5.58
cannot have negative width
w=5.58
round
w=5.6
sub
l=2+w
l=2+5.6
l=7.6


legnth=7.6m
width=5.6m

The answer to the problem
larisa86 [58]

She puts 8% of her salary in, so multiply her pay by 8% to get her yearly amount she saves:

45000 x 0.08 = $3,600 per year.

The company puts 6% of that in the account:

3600 x 0.06 = $216

So per year 3600 + 216 = $3,816 is saved.

3,816 x 2 = $7,632 is the 2 year total.

The answer is A.
