Answer:

Width: 4

Length: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a systems of equations for this problem, assuming W is width and L is length.

W = 3L-14

WL = 24

We can substitute W into the equation.

(3L-14)L = 24

3L²-14L = 24

3L² - 14L - 24 = 0

(3L+4)(L-6)=0

L = 6

Now we can find W by substituting L into the equation.

$6\cdotw=24\\w = 4$

Hope this helped!

Three times a number plus 16

DochEvi [55]

To solve this, we simply need to break down the words and turn each part into an equation.

"Three times"
This shows that we will be multiplying 3 and something.
3*

"a number"
This shows that the number we will be multiplying 3 by is "n," which represents a number.
3*n or 3n

"plus 16"
This shows we will be adding 16 to the rest of the equation.
3n+16

Using the logic above, we can see that the equation to represent this is 3n+16.
