W = L - 7
WL = 78

(L-7)L = 78

L^2 - 7L - 78 = 0
Factorize: (L-13)(L+6) = 0

L = 13 or -6

A length cannot be negative, so the length must be 13 miles.
The width is 13-7 = 6 miles.

If the product of two consecutive odd integers is decreased by one-third the lesser integer, the result is 150. find the integer
dlinn [17]
X(x+2)-(1/3)x=150
x²+2x-(1/3)x-150=0
x²+(5/3)x-150=0
3x²+5x-450=0
this does not produce an integer, because b²-2ac=5²+4*3*450=5425, and √5425=73.6546 is not an integer.

(2)(5)-(-2)÷[(4)(5)+(-2)]
klio [65]
(2)(5) - (-2) ÷ [(4)(5) + (-2)]   Multiply (2)(5)
  10 - (-2) ÷ [(4)(5) + (-2)]   Multiply (4)(5)
   10 - (-2) ÷ [(20) + (-2)]   Simplify the double negative
    10 + 2 ÷ [(20) + (-2)]   Add 20 + (-2) = 20 - 2
           10 + 2 ÷ 18         Add 10 + 2
               12 ÷ 18          Divide 12 ÷ 18
                   \frac{12}{18}   Simplify
                   \frac{2}{3}
