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.

defon
Part A:

Given that <span>A presidential candidate plans to begin her campaign by visiting the capitals in 4 of 50 states.

The number of ways of selecting the route of 4 specific capitals is given by

^{50}P_4= \frac{50!}{(50-4)!} =  \frac{50!}{46!} =50\times49\times48\times47=5,527,200

Therefore, the probability that she selects the route of four specific​ capitals is \frac{1}{5,527,200}



Part B:
</span>
<span>The number of ways of selecting the route of 4 specific capitals is 5,527,200.

Since </span><span>the number of ways of selecting the route of 4 specific capitals is too large it is not practical to list all of the different possible routes in order to select the one that is​ best.

Therefore, "</span><span>No, it is not practical to list all of the different possible routes because the number of possible permutations is very large."</span>
