Formula for area of rectangle:
A=L x w
Here A=85 square ft
Length, L=w+12

Put values in formula.
85=(w+12)w
85=w^2+12w
Subtract 85 from both sides
w^2+12w-85=0
Factorise the equation.
(w-5)(w+17)=0
w=5 and w=-17
Ignore the negative value of width.
Width, w= 5 ft and Length, L=12+5=17 ft

Answer: Width=5 ft and Length=17 ft

Answer:

$x=2+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[]{21}$

or

$x=2-\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x^2-16x-26=-21$

Add 21 on both sides.

$4x^2-16x-26+21=-21+21$

$4x^2-16x-5=0$

a=4

b=-16

c=-5

$x=\frac{-b\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

$x=\frac{-(-16)\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{(-16)^2-4(4)(-5)} }{2(4)}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{256+80} }{8}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{336} }{8}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}\sqrt[]{2^2*2^2*21} }{8}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}2*2\sqrt[]{21} }{8}$

$x=\frac{16\frac{+}{}4\sqrt[]{21} }{8}$

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

$x=\frac{16}{8}+\frac{4\sqrt[]{21}}{8}$

$x=2+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[]{21}$

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

$x=\frac{16}{8}-\frac{4\sqrt[]{21}}{8}\\x=2-\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{{21}$
