Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
Area (A) = 153
Length (l) = 8 + w
Width (w) = w
A = lw
153 = (8 + w)(w)
153 = [tex]w^{2} + 8w[/tex]
0 = [tex]w^{2} + 8w[/tex] - 153
[tex]w^{2} -9w + 17w - 153[/tex]
(w - 9)(w + 17)
w = 9
w = -17
We can't have a negative length, so we only use 9.
w equals 9.
That means l equals 17 (9 + 8 = 17).
Length = 17
Width = 9
