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.

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to y = -2x + 6 that goes through (2, 10).
neonofarm [45]
If the line is perpendicular, then its slope is the reciprocal of the given line's slope. This new line's slope is 1/2. We plug it into slope-intercept form

y = 1/2x + b

Now plug in the given point of (2, 10) and solve for b. 

10 = 1/2(2) + b
10 = 1 + b
9 = b

So your equation is y = 1/2x + 9

What is independent. And what is dependent.
rewona [7]

☻ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ☻

➴ Independent = P   Dependent = W

When you wait in line, sometimes there is less or more people. Sometimes, you wait longer than other days. If there are more people, the time will go up. If there are less people, the waiting time will go down. So, the wait is dependent on the number of people.

Please enclose the "nt" inside parentheses:  <span>A(t)=P(1+r/n)^(nt).

Then:  A = $500*(1+0.06/12)^(5*12) = $641.68</span>
