We can say L as length and W as the width 

L= 3w + 8 

The formula for perimeter is 2L + 2W = P. We can substitute L in as "3w+8" to make the equation... 

2(3w+8)+2w=88        Now, we can simplify by distributing the 2 to each term
6w+16+2w=88
8w+16=88               Then subtract 16 from each side..
8w=72
w=9

So the width is 9, so we can substitue that into the previous equation, L = 3w+8. 

L=3(9)+8
L=27+8
L=35, W=9

Which of the following expresses the possible number of positive real solutions for the polynomial equation shown below?
jarptica [38.1K]
In order to figure this out you need to use Descartes Rule. I attached a picture showing Descartes Rule.  If the signs changes for when x is positive then the number of times it changes are the possible positive solution. If the sign changes when x is negative then the number of times it changes are the possible negative solutions. With that said the answer is A. View the picture I have attached for the possible + - and imaginary solutions.

Answer = A) One possible positive solution.
