Alright in this one, you are going to need to factor. 
The width is x
The length is 2x-4
To find the area of a rectangle is L*W
so (2x-4)(x) when distributed is 2x^2 -4x

Then put that in the equation and you have:
2x^2 -4x = 96
2x^2 -4x -96 = 0  

2x^2+12x-16x-96=0
3x(x+4)-4(x+4)=0
(3x-4)=0
(x+4)=0
x=-4
<u>x=3/4</u>
Since length isn't negative
we will use <u>3/4 as x.
</u>
Width= 0.75 ft
Length= 1.5

Challenge You have 2 different savings accounts. For Account A, the simple interest earned after 3 months is $1.60. For Account
const2013 [10]

Answer:

$1.28

Note for you:

I hope this helps!

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below;

As we know that

The simple interest is

Simple interest = Principal × rate × time

For Account A, the principal would be

2 = Principal × 3.2% × 3

So, the principal is $20.83

For account B, the principal would be

38.50 = Principal × 2.2% × 30

So, the principal is $58.33

Now the interest for both the accounts are as follows

For account 1

= $20.83 × 3.2%

= $0.67

And, for the account 2

= $58.33 × 2.2%

= $1.28

As it can be seen that the account 2 has the highest interest

The same is to be considered
