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>

Answer:

\sqrt{28}

Step-by-step explanation:

You don't need to memorize all of the square roots.  Looking at each square root, find a number close to it that you know -- The square root of five is close to the square root of four, which is 2. The square root of 28 is close to the square root of 25, which is 5.  28 is a slightly bigger than 25, so the square root will be slightly greater than 5.

Write the rule of the transformation
Ratling [72]

Answer:

(x + 5, y + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, what we have is a translation

let us pick a point

G( -5,-2)

To;

G’(0,-1)

so the shift on the x-axis is;

(0-(-5)) = 5

shift on the y-axis is;

(-1-(-2) = 1

we have a rightward shift of 5 units on the x-axis and 1 unit on the y-axis

So we have the rule as;

(x + 5, y + 1)
