Answer:

length = 8

width = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length x breadth

Let x represent the width

length = x + 4

32 = x × (x + 4)

32 = x² + 4x

x² + 4x - 32 = 0

solving using quadratic equation =

(x² - 4x) -32 + 8x

x = 4 or -8

since width cannot be a negative number, we would use 4

(y+3):(y+5)=k:1 show that y=(5k-3)/(1-k) hence y=(5k-2)/(1-k)

luda_lava [24]

hi,

Express the ratios in fractional form, that is

= ( cross- multiply )

y + 3 = k(y + 5) ← distribute

y + 3 = ky + 5k ( subtract ky from both sides )

y - ky + 3 = 5k ( subtract 3 from both sides )

y - ky = 5k - 3 ← factor out y from each term on the left side

y(1 - k) = 5k - 3 ← divide both sides by (1 - k)

y = 5k- 3

____

1 - k
