Answer:

Quiana has 8 text messages from Pierre.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Quiana has 7 times more text messages from Yolanda than from Pierre.

This means that for each message that she receives from Pierre, she receives 7 from Yolanda.

She received 56 from Yolanda.

So

7 messages from Yolanda - 1 messages from Pierre

56 messages from Yolanda - x messages from Pierre

7x = 56

x = \frac{56}{7}

x = 8

Quiana has 8 text messages from Pierre.

The length of a rectangle is eight feet more than its width. The area of the rectangle is six hundred nine square feet. What are
vodomira [7]
You can write two equations using the given information:
.. L = W +8
.. L * W = 609
Using substitution, you get a quadratic.
.. (W +8) * W = 609
.. W^2 +8W -609 = 0
Not surprisingly, you're looking for factors of 609 that differ by 8.
.. 609 = 1*609 = 3*203 = 7*87 = 21*29
The last two are the factors of interest.
.. (W +29)(W -21) = 0

The width of the rectangle is 21 feet, the length is 29 feet.

_____
Sometimes it is easier to work with the average dimension. Here, let that be x. Then you have
.. (x +4)(x -4) = 609
.. x^2 -16 = 609
.. x^2 = 625 = 25^2 . . . . . . . one of your memorized math facts
So, the dimensions are
.. 25 +4 = 29 by 25 -4 = 21, that is, 29 ft by 21 ft.
