Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:W = L - 7

WL = 78

(L-7)L = 78

L^2 - 7L - 78 = 0

Factorize: (L-13)(L+6) = 0

L = 13 or -6

A length cannot be negative, so the length must be 13 miles.

The width is 13-7 = 6 miles.

NikAS [45]
The perimeter of the sandbox is 60 ft.
5x5=25
Two sides = 25, so 25+25 = 50.
Two other sides = 5, so 5+5=10
50+10 = 60, and that is the correct answer.
