Classic Algebra and its unnecessarily complicated sentence structure. As you may have probably known, Algebra has its own "vocabulary set".
"the length of a rectangle exceeds its width by 6 inches" -> length is 6 in. longer than width -> l= w + 6
Since we're solving for the length and width, let's give them each variables.
length = l = w+6
width = w
The next bit of information is "the area is 40 square inches"
Applying the formula for the area of a rectangle we can set up:
l x w = 40
replace "l", or length, with it's alternate value.
(w+6) x w = 40
distribute
+ 6w = 40
subtract 40 from both sides
+ 6w - 40 = 0
factor
(w - 4)(w + 10) = 0
solve for w
w= 4, or -10
So great, we have 2 values; which one do we choose? Since this problem is referring to lengths and inches, we will have to choose the positive value. There is not such thing as a negative distance in the real world.
We now have half of the problem solved: width. Now we just need to find the length which we can do but substituting it back into the original alternate value of l.
l = w + 6
w=4
l = 4 + 6 = 10
The length is 10 in. and the width is 4 in. Hope this helps!

Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
3-(-2)
the two negative signs cancel out and it turns into
3 + 2
3 + 2 = 5
We have to round the value of 0.1561 to the nearest tenth.
The number after decimal is the number at tenth place. Consider the number to the right of the tenths place and use the number to determine if you will round up or stay the same. Notice that the number to the right of tenth place is more than or equal to 5 or less than 5. If that number is greater than or equal to 5, then the number will round up but if that number is less than 5, then the number will not round up. It will remain same.
Let us consider the given number 0.1561
The number at tenths place is 1
The number after the tenths place is 5 (which is either greater than or equal to 5)
So, the number will round up to 0.2
