0 it has no simplest form
Answer: 14th floor
Step-by-step explanation:
20 - 11 + 5 = 14
Since width is the smaller value, set width=x. That wold mean that length=x+3. Since Area=width*length, 40=x(3+x). Distribute the x to give you 40=3x+x^2. Set the equation equal to 0 giving you x^2+3x-40=0. Factor the equation to give you (x+8)(x-5)=0. Set each factor equal to 0. x+8=0 gives you x=-8 & x=-5 gives you x=5. Since we're working with lengths of objects, it can't be negative. Therefore, your width is 5. To find length, substitute width into the original expression (x+3). Therefore, length is 5+3=8.
(x+2)(x+8)(x+k)=x^3+9x^2+6x-16
(x^2+10x+16)(x+k)=x^3+9x^2+6x-16
x^3+10x^2+16x+kx^2+10kx+16k=x^3+9x^2+6x-16
kx^2+10kx+16k=-x^2-10x-16
k(x^2+10x+16)=-x^2-10x-16
k=(-x^2-10x-16)/(x^2+10x+16)
k=-1
so the width is (x-1)
