|dw:1350765311560:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the fact the the area of a rectangle is the product of length and width.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: What is the area formula for a rectangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the equaiton be 21x -14?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's an expression, not an equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And equation means equating two or more expressions. Hence the name.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that's the wrong expression anyway.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: Area Formula for rectangle is Length x Width

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7(3x-2)=133 x=7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
