//Use algebra to find work out the size

14 = w * l
l = 5 + w
14 = w * (5 + w)
14 = 5w + w^2
0 = w^2 + 5w - 14
0 = (w - 2) (w + 7)
=> w = 2cm (as it cannot be negative)

l = w + 5
l = 7cm

-6+8x=-38<br> What is the answer and explain how you got it step by step
Anarel [89]
-6 +8x = -38
8x = -32
x = -4
I did this by first adding 6 to both sides to get 8x by itself. I then divided by 8 to get x by itself. I remembered to use the - - + rule (Two negatives make a positive, a positive and a negative make a negative). Hope this helps!
