<h3>Answer:</h3>
Length: 12 yd
Width: 5.5 yd
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Let x represent the width of the rectangle in yards. Then 2x+1 can represent the length (double the width plus 1 yard). The area is the product of length and width so we have the relation ...
... x(2x+1) = 66
... 2x² +x -66 = 0
This can be solved using any of several methods. One of them is to factor the equation. To do that, we can look for factors of 2·66 = 132 that differ by 1. Since 132 = 11·12, those are the numbers we're looking for. Then ...
... 2x² +12x -11x -66 = 0 . . . . use our found numbers to rewrite the x term
... 2x(x +6) -11(x +6) = 0 . . . . .factor by grouping
... (2x -11)(x +6) = 0
... x = 11/2 or -6 . . . . . values that make the factors zero. Only the positive value is a useful solution.
... The width of the rectangle is 5.5 yards. Its length is 2·5.5+1 = 12 yards,
Answer:
x+1/x-1 +1 / x+1/x-1 -1= x

Step-by-step explanation:
hope it helps you
Lets say, for ease, that the vat can hold a total of 70 gallons (or whatever you would like to use.) Use whatever number you want, I just picked this because it gives us a lot of clean numbers.
Now, if the inlet can fill it in 7 hours, that means that it is adding 10 gallons per hour. (70 gal/7 hours = 10 gal/hr)
For the outlet, use the same process, and you find that it drains the vat at 7 gallons per hour.
So, if you subtract the outlet from the inlet, you get 10 - 7 = 3 gallons per hour added.
Now just divide the size of the vat by that number, and you find your answer.
70 gallons / 3 gallons per hour = 23 1/3 hours.
