Length = 6x - 12

Width = x

Area of a rectangle:

A = length x width

3744 = (x)(6x - 12)

3744 = 6x^2 - 12x

6x^2 - 12x - 3744 = 0

Use the quadratic equation to solve for x. The two solutions end up being 26 and -24. Since length is a scalar measurement, it can only be positive. Thus, the value of x is equal to 26 inches.

Width = 26 inches

Length = 6(26) - 12 = 144 inches

Hope this helps!! :)

Kedar earns a monthly salary if $2,200 plus a 3.75% commission on the amount of his sales at a men's clothing store. What would
ryzh [129]
Monthly salary of Kedar = $2000
Percentage commission on the amount of his sales = 3.75%
Amount of money for which clothing sold by Kedar = $4500
Amount of interest earned by Kedar this month = (3.75/100) * 4500
                                                                            = 3.75 * 45
                                                                            = 168.75 dollars
So
The total amount earned by Kedar this month = (2200 + 168.75) dollars
                                                                          = 2368.75 dollars
So Kedar earned a total amount of $2368.75 this month.I hope the procedure is absolutely clear to you.
