area = L x W

W=L-7

120 = L x L-7

120 = L^2-7L

L^2-7L+120 =0

(L-15) (L+8)

L=15, L=-8. It can't be a negative number so L=15

W=15-7 = 8

15*8 =120

 length = 15 inches

width = 8 inches

Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangle. <em><u>Length= 15 inches and Width= 8 inches</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width of rectangle be W and length be L then

L=W+7 ---- (A)

Also given that area of rectangle = 120 square inches

=> WxL=120   -----(B)

From equation (A) and (B)

Wx(W+7) = 120

=> W^{2}+7W-120=0

=>W^{2}+15W-8W-120=0 =>(W+15)(W-8)=0

=> W=-15 or 8

Since the width can not be a negative quantity , so W= 8 inches

=> L= W+7= (8+7) inches =  15 inches

Thus the dimensions of the rectangle. <em><u>Length= 15 inches and Width= 8 inches</u></em>

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: U' = (0, 1)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

U = (3, -5)

rotate 90° counterclockwise means (x, y) = (-y, x)

new U = (5, 3)

down 2 units means subtract 2 from the y-coordinate

newer U = (5, 1)

left 5 units means subtract 5 from the x-coordinate

U' = (0, 1)

Mai's water bottle had 24 ounces in it. After she drank x ounces of water, there were 10 ounces left.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

24 - X = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mai's water bottle had 24 ounces in it. After she drank x ounces of water, there were 10 ounces left, in order to determine the equation that represents this situation, the following reasoning has to be made:

Since the bottle has 24 ounces of liquid, that is its initial content, from which an amount X is subtracted, after which 10 ounces of water remain. That is, 24 - X = 10.

Thus, this equation is solved in the following way:

24 - X = 10

24 = 10 + X

24 - 10 = X

14 = X
