The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 24 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 24.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 24
w + h = \( \frac{24}{2} \)
w + h = 12
w = 12 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 12 - 2w
3w = 12
w = \( \frac{12}{3} \)
w = 4

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 4) = 8 and the area = h x w = 4 x 8 = 32 m²

The equation for this sequence is:

a_n = a_n-1 + 3(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, a_n is the value of the term, and a_n-1 is the value of the term before a_n. This makes the next number:

a₆ = a₅ + 3(6 - 1)
a₆ = 31 + 3(5)
a₆ = 46

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

The factors of 60 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60] and the factors of 24 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12] making 12 the greatest factor 60 and 24 have in common.

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,400
i = 0.09 x $1,400

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
