Answer:

The length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width.

The length can be represented by 2w + 2

Use the area formula, A = lw, and plug in the area and the expressions for the length and width:

A = lw

24 = (2w + 2)(w)

Simplify and solve for w:

24 = 2w² + 2w

2w² + 2w - 24

Divide everything by 2:

w² + w - 12

Factor:

(w + 4)(w - 3)

Set equal to 0 and solve for each factor:

w + 4 = 0

w = -4

w - 3 = 0

w = 3

Since the width cannot be negative, the width has to be 3.

Next, find the length by plugging in 3 as w:

2w + 2

2(3) + 2

= 8

So, the length is 8 inches and the width is 3 inches

Rewrite the decimal fraction as a decimal number.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

8.025

Step-by-step explanation:

If you count the zeros in 1000, it's three. Count three starting from the back of 25. Add 0 in front of 25 to make it a three digit number. You then put the decimal point with the whole number.
