Okay, thanks but can we work on something else? (a different problem)

Answer 15

okay

Answer 16

*A=L*W

Answer 17

A=(W+1)*W
30=(W+1)*W
30=W^2+W
W^2+W-30=0
(x-6)(x+5)=0
x=-6,5
can't have a negative number so we assume 5

Answer 18

sorry those x's should be w's

Answer 19

L=5+1=6

Answer 20

A=30
L=6
W=5
I came back here to fix this. It was brought to my attention I didn't do it right the first time. I apologize.
