area = width * length
or
A = W * L
55 = W * (W+6)
solve for width:
0 = W^2 + 6W - 55
this is a quadratic and has two solutions -11 and 5
a length can only be non-negative so discard -11.
width W = 5 miles
now the length is 5+6 = 11 miles
Answer:
you will need to subtract 15% from $12 and get 10.20 now times that by 5 and you will get $51.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: u^2 - u - 30
Step-by-step explanation:
So the first thing we need to do is set up an equation (using x to represent the number). Then, we'll solve it to get the answer.
Step 1: Translate the word problem into an equation
Word problem: The sum of nine and six-tenths and a number is thirteen and two-tenths.
Equation:
+ x = 
Step 2: Isolate x by subtracting
from each side
+ x -
=
- 
Step 3: The numbers on the left cancel out, leaving x alone
x = 
Step 4: Convert the answer to decimals
x = 3.6
