3 *4.2 This is not a discount
A = l x w
so you know that the length is 3m longer than the width, so you could use a formula to represent that
w = l + 3
you then substitute the second equation into the first to solve for l
70 = l x (l +3)
70 = l^2 + 3l
you could then rearrange the formula and solve for l using the quadratic formula
0 = l^2 + 3l - 70
l = -3 +- (square root (3)^2 - 4(1)(70)) / 2(1)
l = -3 +- (square root 9 + 280) / 2
l = -3 +- (square root 289) / 2
l = -3 +- 17 / 2
then you solve for the two seperate roots
l = -3 + 17 /2
l = 14 / 2
l = 7
or
l = -3 - 17 / 2
l = -20 / 2
l = -10
since a length cannot be negative, this root is not viable. therefore l = 7
to solve for w you would use
w = l + 3
w = 7 + 3
w = 10

Let's first write all the factors of 168 and 252.
168 - <span>1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,21,24,28,42,56,84,168</span>
252 - 1,2,3,4,6,7,9,12,14,18,21,28,36,42,63,84,126,252
84 is the GCF because 84 is greatest common factor of 168 and 252.
So, 84 is the GCF
Hope this helps.. :)
