Answer:

8 units for the length

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = length

w = width

l = w+3

A = l*w

substitute what we know

40 = (w+3) *w

distribute

40 = w^2 +3w

Subtract 40 from each side

0 = w^2 +3w -40

Factor

0 = (w+8) (w-5)

Using the zero product property

w+8 =0 w-5=0

w= -8 w=5

Since the width cannot be negative

w=5

l = w+3 = 5+3

l = 8 units

Answer:

<h2> x₁ = - 2 + √2 , x₂ = - 2 - √2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x^2 + 12x + 6 = 0\\\\a=3\,,\ b=12\,,\ c=6\\\\\\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\ x=\dfrac{-12\pm\sqrt{12^2-4\cdot3\cdot6}}{2\cdot3}=\dfrac{-12\pm\sqrt{144-72}}{2\cdot3}=\dfrac{-12\pm\sqrt{72}}{2\cdot3}=\dfrac{-12\pm6\sqrt{2}}{6}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{6(-2+\sqrt{2})}{6}=-2+\sqrt2\\\\x_2=\dfrac{6(-2-\sqrt{2})}{6}=-2-\sqrt2$
