Answer:

Let the Width(W) =X feet

then Length(L) = (2X-3)feet

Area of the rectangle (A)=77 square feet

A = L× W

L×W=A

(2X-3) × X = 77

2X²- 3X =77

2X²-3X -77=0

Solving it using the factorization method

2X²-14X+11X-77=0

(2X²-14X)+(11X-77)=0

2X(X-7) + 11(X-7)=0

(2X+11)(X-7) =0

When 2X+11=0

X= -11/2

When X-7=0

X = 7

Therefore X= 7

Width = X feet

= 7feet

The width is 7feet

Length = (2X-3)feet

= (2×7) -3)feet

=(14-3)feet

=11feet

Taya2010 [7]

This is pretty easy math.

All we have to do here is multiply the hours times the constant (10$ an hour)

20*10=200$

40*10=400$

60*10=600$

All together he makes 1,200$.
