It would be (x)(x+7)=170
If you want it solved, then you would get:

=0
(x+17)(x-10)=0
And since you can't have a negative length (-17), x=10
So your side lengths would be 10 and 17 (10+7), which would give you an area of 170.
Hope that helps.
Answer:
46 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p represent the length in cm of 1 bap'ai; let k represent the length in cm of 1 bok'ai. Then we have ...
12p +2k = 100
10p +10k = 100
Subtracting the second equation from 5 times the first, we get ...
5(12p +2k) -(10p +10k) = 5(100) -(100)
50p = 400
p = 8 . . . . cm
Then the second equation tells us ...
10(8) +10k = 100
10k = 20
k = 2 . . . . cm
Then 5p+3k = 5(8) +3(2) = 46 cm.
The distance 5 bap'ai and 3 bok'ai is 46 cm.
Answer:
Catherine's sister ate 2/15 gallons of the ice cream.
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
be the amount of ice cream that Catherine's sister ate, in gallons.
- Original amount: 1 gallon.
- What Catherine ate:
gallons. - What Catherine's sister ate is assumed to be
gallons.
- What's left:
gallons.
Consider the relationship:
.
That is:
.
Add
to both sides of this equation:

Substract
from both sides:
.
Convert the denominator of all three numbers on the left-hand side to 
.
.
In other words, Catherine's sister ate
gallons of the ice cream.
