Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The given relation between length and width can be used to write an expression for area. The equation setting that equal to the given area can be solved to find the shed dimensions.
__
<h3>Given relation</h3>
Let x represent the width of the shed. Then the length is (2x+3), and the area is ...
A = LW
20 = (2x+3)(x) . . . . . area of the shed
__
<h3>Solution</h3>
Completing the square gives ...
2x² +3x +1.125 = 21.125 . . . . . . add 2(9/16) to both sides
2(x +0.75)² = 21.125 . . . . . . . write as a square
x +0.75 = √10.5625 . . . . . divide by 2, take the square root
x = -0.75 +3.25 = 2.50 . . . . . subtract 0.75, keep the positive solution
The width of the shed is 2.5 feet; the length is 2(2.5)+3 = 8 feet.

Equivalent fractions for 1/4
From this chart, we can observe that the equivalent fractions of 1/4 are: 2/8, 3/12, 4/16,... Two fractions are said to be equivalent if their values (decimal/graphical) are the same. We usually multiply the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number to get its equivalent fraction.
Find the slope first
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
m = (4-2)/(5-0)
m = 2/5
Find the slope-intercept equation
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 2 = 2/5 (x - 0)
y - 2 = (2/5)x
y = (2/5)x + 2
