14 please I am in desperate helppp

=================================================

Work Shown:

x = width

x+14 = length, since it is 14 more than the width

area = length*width = (x+14)*x = x^2+14x

area = 240

x^2+14x = 240

x^2+14x-240 = 0

Use the quadratic formula from this point. See the attached image for the steps on how to do that. You should end up with two possible solutions

x = 10 or x = -24

Ignore the negative x value. A negative width makes no sense.

The only possible solution is x = 10, so x+14 = 10+14 = 24

width = 10

length = 24

area = length*width = 10*24 = 240

answer's are confirmed

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).

if graphs are part of the problem statement, share them.   .
