Answer:

width is 4 inches

length is 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

the length is 6 inches less than three times the width

l = 3w - 6

a = l * w

a = (3w - 6)w

a = 3w^2 - 6w

area of the rectangle is 24 square inches

3w^2 - 6w = 24

subtract 24 from both sides

3w^2 - 6w - 24 = 0

Divide both sides by 3

w^2  - 2w - 8 = 0

Factor

(w - 4)(w + 2) = 0

w = {-2, 4}

disregard the negative root since measurement must be positive

w = 4

l = 3w - 6

l = 3(4) - 6

l = 6

Add. Simplify. Please HELP!!!
Archy [21]

Answer: the first answer is 8 and 5/8, #2, (bottom left) is 17 and 6/10. #3, (top right) is 6 and 3/8. #4, (bottom right) is 19 and 3/10.

Step-by-step explanation: to add fractions, you have to have a common denominator. to get a common denominator, you multiply one or both sides to make the same number on the bottom. when you multiply the bottom, you also have to multiply the top. After that, you add the top numbers and add the whole numbers next to it. Then you just put the numbers together.

Hope this helps! if it is wrong, could you please correct me.
