A = L * W........x = W
L = 2x + 3
A = 119

119 = x(2x + 3)
119 = 2x^2 + 3x
2x^2 + 3x - 119 = 0
(2x + 17)(x - 7) = 0

2x + 17 = 0
2x = -17
x = - 17/2 or - 8.5....wont work because it is negative

x - 7 = 0           L = 2x + 3
x = 7                L = 2(7) + 3
                        L = 14 + 3
                        L = 17

so the width (x) = 7 inches and the length (L) = 17 inches...
the equation used was : 119 = x(2x + 3)...or 2x^2 + 3x - 119 = 0...not sure which equation they want...but they are the same

Two train leave stations 210 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 80 miles per hour w
Brrunno [24]

SOLUTION

At the same time t,

Train 1 would have covered a distance of 80t, since distance = average speed x time.

Train 2 would have covered a distance of 70t.

Now both added should give 210 miles

That is 80t + 70t = 210

150t = 210

t = 210/150

t = 1.4 hours
