Question

the length of a rectangle is 7 meters more than the width. the area is 60 square meters. find the length and width.

Answer 1

let x be the width

Answer 2

it says that "the length of a rectangle is 7 meters more than the width", so the length is x+7

Answer 3

Area = Length * Width

60 = (x+7)*x

60 = x^2 + 7x

0 = x^2 + 7x - 60

x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0

I'll let you finish

Answer 4

width = 5 and length is 12

Answer 5

PI3.14 please don't give out the answers only

Answer 6

let the width be x so that the length will be 7 + x. now the area is x * (7 + x) = 60 that is x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0

Answer 7

now solve for x and the positive value will be the width
