X= width
length= 3x-7
Area: (x)(3x-7)=40
= 3x^2-7x=40
= 3x^2-7x-40=0
Factorise the equation: (3x+8)(x-5)=0
x=-8/3 (reject because width cannot be negative) or x=5
so width is 5cm and length is 3(5)-7= 8cm !

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

3.7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Pat could do the job alone in 8 hours.

Patti could do the job alone in 7 hours

Output = Rate * time

Let the rate at which pat does the work = Rp

Let the rate at which Patti does the work = Rt

Let X be the total output

Rp * 8 = X

Rp = X/8

Rt * 7 = X

Rt = X/7

If both pat and Patti pick apples, we have

(Rp+Rt)T = X

(X/8 + X/7)T = X

[(7X + 8X)/56]T = X

[X(7+8)/56]T = X

Divide both sides by X

[(7+8)/56]T = 1

(15/56)T = 1

T = 56/15

T = 3.7 hours
