This is an odd problem. The length and width look like they should be interchanged. Anyway I'll solve it and we'll talk about the results.
(x +7) (x + 3) = 396
x^2 + 7x + 3x + 21 = 396
x^2 + 10x + 21 = 396 Subtract 21 from both sides.
x^2 + 10x = 396 - 21
x^2 + 10x = 375
x^2 + 10x - 375 = 0 This probably factors.
(x + 25)(x - 15)
x + 25 = 0
x = - 25 which makes no sense. Negatives do not describe room dimensions.
x - 15= 0
x = 15. this is fine.

x+3 = 15 + 3 = 18
x + 7 = 15 + 7= 22

Check
=====
Area = L * W = 18 * 22 = 496. It does check.
22 should be the length

18 should be the width.

The length of a rectangle is twice the with. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 units, find the area of the garden
Darya [45]

w - width

2w - length

60 - perimeter

w + w + 2w + 2w = 6w - perimeter

The equation:

6w = 60    <em>divide both sides by 6</em>

w = 10 → 2w = 2 · 10 = 20

The area: A = width × length

A = (10)(20) = 200

<h3>Answer: The area of the garden is equal 200 square units.</h3>

How is 7 21/25 written as a decimal
aivan3 [116]
 Im pretty sure the answer is 7.84. i got this because 7 is a whole number so it is in the whole number spot. Then, you have to get your denominator to 100. So, what times 25 equals 100? its 4. so you get 100 so whatever you do to your denominator you do to your numerator. so 21 times 4 is 84. so 84/100 is actually 7.84. Hope this helped
