Answer:

l = 7 in; w = 3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle is

A = lw

Data:

A = 21 in²

l = w + 4

Calculation:

                 21 = (w + 4) × w

                 21 = w² + 4w

w² + 4w - 21 = 0

(w + 7)(w - 3) = 0

w + 7 = 0     w - 3 = 0

      w = -7         w = 3

We reject the negative value, so w = 3 in.

21 = l × 3

l = 7

The rectangle is 7 in long and 3 in wide.

There are 9 more pencils then pens in a container. There are 25 writing utensils in the container in all. How many pens are ther
VashaNatasha [74]
In order to determine the number of pens present in the container, we need to set up equations from the given in the problem statement. We do as follows:

let x the number of pencils
    y the number of pens

From the statement, 9 more pencils then pens in a container,

x = y + 9

From the statement, there are 25 writing utensils in the container in all,

x + y = 25

We use substitution method to calculate for x and y,

y + 9 + y = 25
2y = 16
y = 8
x = 17

Therefore, there are 8 pens in the container and 17 pencils.
