Let
x-------------> t<span>he width of each postcard
y-------------> the </span>the length of each postcard
we know that
A=12 in²
A=x*y-------> 12=x*y-------> equation 1
y=x+4-----> equation 2
<span>I substitute 2 in 1
</span>12=x*y----------> 12=x*[x+4]------> 12=x²+4x------> x²+4x-12=0
x²+4x-12=0
using a graph tool----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=-6----> is not solution
x=2 in
y=x+4----> y=2+4-----> y=6 in
the answer is
the length of each postcard is 6 in
the width of each postcard is 2 in
