The length of a rectangle is four meters less than twice it's width. If the area of the rectangle is 96 square meters what is the width?

(I'm sorry if this is not the right answer)

The width = 8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The length: a (m)

The width: b (m)

We cannot have a negative length and a negative width: a>b>0

Eq. I: a=2b-4

Eq. II: ab=96

Substitute the value of a from Eq. I into Eq. II: (2b-4).b=96

Solve for b:

(2b-4).b=96

2-4b-96=0

-2b-48=0

+6b-8b-48=0

b.(b+6)-8.(b+6)=0

(b+6).(b-8)=0

b=8; b=-6

As mentioned above, b>0. Therefore, b=8

Conclusion: if the area of the rectangle is 96 square meters then its width is 8 meters.

what is the model?

step-by-step explanation:

b because it contains 40% of the possible results from the random list.  

0,1,2,3 v 4,5,6,7,8,9  

4 integers to 6 integers  

40% success vs 60% fail
