I think b because you suppose to multiple the length and width to get the area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it's C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How??

OpenStudy (cookie_2046):

i dont think he's knows how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't the formula for rectangles A= l x w

OpenStudy (cookie_2046):

yea i think so

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

C is correct.

OpenStudy (cookie_2046):

eh i'll go with c (:

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The area of a rectangle is A = LW We can also write A = WL We are told the length is 7 more than the width, so if the width is w, the length is w + 7. When you multiply the width and length in the formula you get: A = WL A = w(w + 7) Since we are told the area is 60, then we have: w(w + 7) = 60

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

C is correct.

Ohhh
