Find the dimensions of a rectangle whose width is 7 miles less than its length and whose areas is 78 square miles.

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.

Answer:

1. The nature of creative work is that it can take almost any form, so the scope of the copyright law was drafted in such a way to take that into account. The categories that works can potentially be protected in are so wide that it’s difficult to imagine what types of creative work are not protected.

2.Some artists look for ways to extend copyright for longer than the laws normally allow. Why do they do this?

3.The Benefits of Using a Creative Commons License Numerous high-profile authors (including futurist Cory Doctorow), artists, musicians (such as the rock band Nine Inch Nails), and even government agencies and entities (including the White House) use Creative Commons licenses. You’ll find many more case studies on the Creative Commons site.

If 20 is added to one-third of a number, the result is the double of the number. What is the number?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
1/3 of an unknown number is 1/3x.  The word "of" lets us know to multiply.  So if we add 20 to that, and it is equal to double x (that is 2x), the equation looks like this: 

1. Start by multiplying everything by 3 to get rid of the fraction and get 20 + 1/3x = 2x.
2. Now subtract an x from both sides and get 60 = 5x and x = 12. 
So the answer is 12
