A rectangular garden is 20 ft longer than it is wide. Its area is 800 ft 2 . What are its dimensions?

Our equation for the area of a rectangle is l x w = A (length times width equals area)
We know that l=w+20 so we can plug this into our equation.
It is now, (w+20) x w =800
We can then solve for w
w^2 +20w =800
We can subtract 800 on each side to get
w^2 +20w - 800 =0
We then factor to get
(w-20)(w+40)=0
This gives us w =20 and w = -40
Width cannot be negative so our width will be 20 feet
Since our length is 20 more than this, then our length will be 40feet
So the dimensions of the rectangle are 20 ft wide by 40 ft long

Correct answer get the BRAINLIEST ANSWER!

Here is how I completed the problem:

I started by creating a ratio:

$\frac{x}{0.18} + \frac{360}{0.10} = \frac{x+360}{0.15}$

Where 'x' is the desired amount of the 18% solution of sulfuric acid.

From here, I solved for 'x':

 $\frac{0.10x}{0.018} + \frac{360(0.18)}{0.018} = \frac{x+360}{0.15}$
$\frac{0.10x}{0.018} + \frac{64.8}{0.018} = \frac{x+360}{0.15}$
$\frac{0.10x+64.8}{0.018} = \frac{x+360}{0.15}$
$0.15(0.10x+64.8) = 0.018(x+360)$
$0.015x+9.72 = 0.018x+6.48$
$0.003x = 3.24$
$x = 1080$

∴You will need to add 1080ml of 18% Sulfuric Acid in order to obtain a 15% solution.
