Answer:

Length =5

Width = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length =x

Width = x -3

Area = 10

x(x-3) =10

See comment for missing part of the question

Required

Complete the expression to determine the dimension of a rectangle

We have:

x(x-3) =10

Open bracket

x^2 -3x = 10

Equate to 0

x^2 -3x - 10 =0

Expand

x^2 + 2x - 5x - 10 = 0

Factorize

x(x + 2) - 5(x + 2) = 0

Factor out x + 2

(x  - 5)(x + 2) = 0

Solve for x

x - 5 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

x = 5 or x = -2

The value of x cannot be negative

So:

x  = 5

Recall that:

Length = x

Width = x - 3

So:

Length =5

Width = 2 ---- i.e. 5 - 3

The party was 5 hours. 353.86-200.51=153.35 then you divide that number by 30.67 and you get 5.
