let the width of the rectangle be x
area of rectangle is l*b
x * (x + 6) = 40^2
x^2 + 6x = 40^2
x^2 + 6x = 1600
x + 6x =√1600
x + 6x = 40
7x = 40
x = 5.7

Since there are 2 sides to the shelf, there is 0.05*2=0.05+0.05=0.1 meters of space between the shelf and wall in total. Next, since each piece of wood is 0.3 meters wide and we have 3 of them, the total width of the wood is 0.3+0.3+<something>
Note that <width of wood>+<space between shelf and well> =width of closet

(c)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are required to construct 3 linear equations starting with the given solution z = 1/3.
<u>Equation 1</u>
<u />
<u />
Multiply both sides by 9

Rewrite 3 as 5-2
9z=5-2
Add 2 to both sides
Our first equation is: 
<u>Equation 2</u>
<u />
<u />
Multiply both sides by 21

Rewrite 7 as 11-4
21z=11-4
Subtract 11 from both sides
Our second equation is: 
<u>Equation 3</u>
<u />
<u />
Multiply both sides by 6

Rewrite 6z as 4z+2z
4z+2z=2
Subtract 2z from both sides
Our third equation is: 
Answer:
3boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
1st we should know the number of cookies
7*5=35
Divide the total of cookies to cookies per box 35/12=2 11/12
2 boxes and 11 cookies remaning (they need an extra box)= 3 boxes
