The length of a rectangular garden is 3 yards more than its width. The area of the garden is 40 square yards. Find the length of the garden.

length=8 , wide=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length=x and wide=y

convert the question into two equations

3+y=x 1

xy=40 2

so we need to substitute x into y or y into x

x=3+y ,

(3+y)y=40

y²+3y=40

y²+3y-40=0

from that use calculator or manually factorise it

(y+8)(y-5)=0

y= –8 , y=5

we need to choose positive answer so y=5

then find for x

5x=40

x=8

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
