Hi.

Formula for area: A = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width.

Given information:
• l = 2w - 1
• A = 21 in^2

We can plug in our values accordingly and solve for w.

A = 2l + 2w
21 = 2(2w - 1) + 2w
21 = 4w - 2 + 2w
23 = 6w - 2
23 = 6w
3.83 = w

Plug 3.83 for w into 2w - 1 to find length.

2(3.83) - 1
7.66 - 1
6.66

Finally, check your work by plugging your values into the original equation.

21 = 2(6.66) + 2(3.83)
21 = 13.32 + 7.66
21 = 20.98

Answer:
The length is approximately 6.66 inches.

Please help me with 12 and the question below it, plz thank youuu!!!
borishaifa [10]
  13 units from 20 could either be 33 or 7; 15 units from -8 could either be 7 or 23.Since 7 satisfy both of the above requirements, Sarah's favorite number is 7. (You could show your work using a number line)
 
  The two possibilities of Neil's favorite number are 26 and -12.

Is x + 10 a factor of the function f(x) = x3 − 75x + 250? Explain.
PtichkaEL [24]
Yes. When the function f(x) = x3 – 75x + 250 is divided by x + 10, the remainder is zero. Therefore, x + 10 is a factor of f(x) = x3 – 75x + 250. 

According to the remainder theorem when f(x) is divided by (x+a) the remainder is f(-a). 
In this case, 
f(x)=x^3-75x+250 
(x+a)=(x+10) 
Therefore, the remainder f(-a)=f(-10) 

=x^3-75x+250 
=(-10)^3-(75*-10)+250 
=-1000+750+250 
=1000-1000 
=0. 
The remainder is 0. So, (x+10) is a factor of x^3-75x+250.
