The Sum and the Product of Roots of Quadratic Equations

Hinahoho painted the wall for her mother.The length is 20m longer
than its width and the area is 125m2.Find its equation,sum and
product of its roots.
ANSWER:
A=LW
125=(20+w)(w)
125=20w+w2
0= w2+20w-125
20
= = 20

Peter can paint the wall in 40 minutes and John can paint the wall
in 60 minutes. How long will it take for them to mow the lawn
together?
