width = 4.16 meter

length = 6.49 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle =27 m²

Let the width of the rectangle be x meter

So, Length = 3 * width - 6

= 3*x - 6

= 3x-6 meter

Area of the rectangle = length * width

27 = (3x-6)*x

Flipping the sides of the equation, we have

(3x-6)*x =27

Distributing the left side, we get

(3x)*(x) - (6)*(x) = 27

=> 3x² - 6x = 27

Subtract 27 from both sides,

3x² - 6x -27 = 27 - 27

=> 3x² - 6x -27 = 0

Factoring out 3 from all the terms on the left side, we have

3(x² - 2x -9) = 0

Dividing both sides by 3, we have

$\frac{3(x^{2}-2x-9) }{3}$ = $\frac{0}{3}$

Cancelling out the 3's on the left, we get

x² - 2x -9 = 0

We'll use the quadratic formula to solve for the x,

x = $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

Comparing the quadratic equation x² - 2x -9 = 0 with ax² + bx + c = 0, we get

a = 1 (as x² has no coefficient)

b = -2

c = -9

Plugging in the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula, we get

x = $\frac{-(-2)\pm\sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4(1)(-9) } }{2(1)}$

=> x = $\frac{2\pm\sqrt{4+36 } }{2}$

=> x = $\frac{2\pm\sqrt{40}}{2}$

=> x = $\frac{2\pm2\sqrt{10}}{2}$

Factoring out 2 from the top, we get

x = $\frac{2(1\pm\sqrt{10})}{2}$

Canceling out the 2's from the top and bottom, we have

x = $1\pm\sqrt{10}$

Either x = $1+\sqrt10$ or x= $1-\sqrt10$

=> x = 1 + 3.162 or x = 1 - 3.162

=> x = 4.162 (possible) or x = -2.162 (not possible as width can't be negative)

So, width = 4.16 meter (rounded off to the nearest hundredth)

Now,

Area of the rectangle = length * width

27 = length * 4.16

Flipping the sides of the equation,

length * 4.16 = 27

Dividing both sides by 4.16, we get

$\frac{length * 4.16}{4.16} = \frac{27}{4.16}$

Cancelling out 4.16 from the top and bottom of the left side, we get

length = 6.490

=> length = 6.49 meter (rounded off to the nearest hundredth)

Answer from: Quest

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a= -1/116
