Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l and w be length and width, respectively. Then:

lw=144   and

l=w+10

So:

w(w+10)=144

w²+10w-144=0

A girl scout troop sold cookies. If the girls sold 5 more boxes the second week than they did the first, and if they double the
valina [46]

Answer:

Boxes sold first week = 104

Boxes sold second week =x+5= 104+5=109

Boxes sold third  week = 109 times 2= 218

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of boxes sold in first week

the girls sold 5 more boxes the second week

So number of boxes sold in second week is x+5

they double the sales of the second week for the third week

So number of boxes sold in third week is 2 (x+5)

Total boxes sold is 431

x+x+5+2(x+5)=431

x+x+5+2x+10=431

4x+15=431

subtract 15 from both sides

4x=416

divide by 4 on both sides

x=104

Boxes sold first week = 104

Boxes sold second week =x+5= 104+5=109

Boxes sold third  week = 104 times 2= 218
