Answer:
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
A = LW formula for area of rectangle
(2x + 1)(2x) = 20 substitute length, width, and area into formula
4x² + 2x - 20 = 0 use the distributive property to multiply out left side
2x² + x - 10 = 0 divide both sides of equation by 2
(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 factor out trinomial
2x + 5 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 use zero product rule to solve for x
2x = -5 or x = 2 subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides
x = -5/2 or x = 2
We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.
Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5
Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4
Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.

Distance = 500 miles
Distance of automobile = 10r
r = 50
Distance = 10 x 50 = 500 miles
<span>Answer: a) Greater than or equal to 38 feet
b)Since there is no restriction on the perimeter there exists many possible values for the length of the deck.
Explanation: Given that the width of the deck is 29 ft.
and the perimeter of the deck is at least 134 ft.
134 = 2(length + width)
134 = (2 x length) + (2 x 29)
134 = (2 x length) + 58
2 x length = 134 - 58
2 x length = 76
length = 76 / 2
length = 38 ft
Thus, the inequality will be:
a)Length ≥ 38 ft
b)since there is no restriction on the perimeter there exists many possible values for length of deck.</span>
