We know from the problem that l = 3w - 5. We also know the formula for area is A = w * l. Therefore, the area of the rectangle is A = w * (3w - 5). We can then set this equation equal to 50 as the question states and solve for w.

50 = w*(3w - 5)

Expand the multiplication
50 = 3w^2 - 5w

Subtract 50 from both sides.
0 = 3w^2 - 5w - 50

We now have a quadratic equation and can solve it using the quadratic formula to find w. We find that the solutions to the equation are 5 and -3.3. We know that the width can't be negative, so the width must be 5.

Finally, we can plug this solution into the length formula we found earlier to solve for length.
l = 3w - 5

Plug in the solution to w.
l = 3(5) - 5

Multiply 3 and 5.
l = 15 - 5

Subtract 5
l = 10

Therefore the width is 5 and the length is 10.

Increments of seven ​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Specific Learning Outcomes:  

Solve problems that involve finding powers of a number

Description of mathematics:  

In this problem students work with powers of numbers and, as a consequence, come to understand what is happening to the numbers.  

Students also see how an apparently enormous and difficult calculation can be broken down into manageable parts. The students should come to realise that there are only a limited number of unit digits obtained when 7 is raised to a power. Further,  these specific digits 'cycle round' as the power of 7 increases. This cycle is 7, 9, 3, 1, 7, 9, …

The same is true of the digit in the tens place.
