A = LW
A = 72
L = W + 1

72 = W(W + 1)
72 = W^2 + W
W^2 + W - 72 = 0
(W + 9)(W - 8) = 0

W + 9 = 0
W = -9......extraneous solution...does not work here

W - 8 = 0
W = 8 <==

L = W + 1
L = 8 + 1
L = 9

so the width (W) is 8 ft and the Length is 9 ft

Answer correclty PLZZZ

Answer: option C is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of linear equations is

10x + 7y = 12 - - - - - - - 1

8x + 7y = 18 - - - - - - - 2

Since the coefficient of y is the same in equation 1 and equation 2, we will eliminate y by subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes

10x - 8x + 7y - 7y = 12 - 18

2x = -6

x = - 6/2 = - 3

Substituting x = - 3 into equation 1, it becomes

10×-3 + 7y = 12

-30 + 7y = 12

Let the constants be on the right hand side and the term containing y be on the left hand side. It becomes

7y = 12 + 30

7y = 42

y = 42/7

y = 6

C) (−3, 6)
