Question

The width of a rectangle is 7 meters greater than its length

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation in standard form for the equation that would represent the area of the rectangle is x^2 + 7c - 170 = 0. The area (A) of the rectangle with length, x, and width, y, is: A = x * y. The width of a rectangle is 7 meters greater than its length: y = 7 + l. The area of the rectangle is 170 square meters: A = 170. Substitute A and y in the formula A = x * y. 170 = x * (7 + x). 170 = 7x + x^2. The standard form of the quadratic equation is ax^2 + bx + c = 0. Therefore, 170 = 7x + x^2 in the standard form is: x^2 + 7c - 170 = 0.
