Alright in this one, you are going to need to factor.
The width is x
The length is 2x-4
To find the area of a rectangle is L*W
so (2x-4)(x) when distributed is 2x^2 -4x
Then put that in the equation and you have:
2x^2 -4x = 96
2x^2 -4x -96 = 0
2x^2+12x-16x-96=0
3x(x+4)-4(x+4)=0
(3x-4)=0
(x+4)=0
x=-4
<u>x=3/4</u>
Since length isn't negative
we will use <u>3/4 as x.
</u>
Width= 0.75 ft
Length= 1.5
Answer:

<span>A is the correct answer. To find 10% of 50, divide it by 10. This gives you 5. If 5 is 10%, then 20 is 40%, because 20 is 4 x 5 and 40 is 4 x 10. </span>
