A = L * W
A = 320
L = W + 4
320 = W(W + 4)
320 = W^2 + 4W
W^2 + 4W = 320
W^2 + 4W + 4 = 320 + 4
(W + 2)^2 = 324
W + 2 = (+-) sqrt 324
W = -2 (+-) 18
W = -2 + 18 = 16 ft <== this is the width
W = -2 - 18 = -20....not this one because it is negative
L = W + 4
L = 16 + 4
L = 20 ft <=== this is the length
in summary...the width is 16 ft and the length is 20 ft
7 books with a cost of 28$ then a 2$ charge which will put him right at 30

Step-by-step explanation:
Or
Given parameters:
Cost per pound of Arabica coffee = $28 per pound
Cost of Robusta coffee = $8.75
Given number of pounds of Robusta Coffee = 3 pounds
Total cost of blend per pound = $15.50
Unknown:
Number of pounds of Arabica coffee = ?
Solution:
Let the number of pounds of Arabica coffee = A;
We have to interpret this problem algebraically and solve;
28A + 8.75(3) = 15.5(A + 3)
Now solve the expression above for A;
28A + 26.25 = 15.5A + 46.5
28A - 15.5A = 46.5 - 26.25
12.5A = 20.25
A = 1.62
Number of pounds of Arabica Coffee is 1.62 pound
