Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
We use PEMDAS to solve this,
so P stands for parentheses, so that's where we start.
We first, square the innermost parentheses with the exponent which is the E in PEMDAS, then then the outer parentheses
-12/3*(-8+16-6)+2
-12/3*(2)+2
Now we divide as in Division in PEMDAS.
-4*2+2
Now we multiply as in Multiplication in PEMDAS.
-8+2
Now we add as in A for Addition
-6
In PEMDAS, Multiplication doesn't always come before division, and same for addition and subtraction.
This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.
Area of a rectangle:
The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

w(2w + 3) = 9
From this, we get that:

Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots
such that
, given by the following formulas:
In this question:


Thus a quadratic equation with 
Then


Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Each term of the given arithmetic sequence is 6 more than the previous one. Thus, the next term is 26+6, or 32.
a(n) = 8 + 6(n-1)
