Answer:

Length is 15 inches

Width is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A = L*W

the Width = L-7

120 = L (L-7)

120 = L^2-7L

subtract 120 from each side

0 = L^2 - 7L - 120

(L-15) (L +8 )

so L = 15  inches

and W = 15-7 = 8 inches

check your answer: does 15*8 = 120? yes!

A taxicab charges $3.00 per person
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

I believe the answer would be 20 miles max for one passenger.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you create an equation out of this, knowing that only one passenger will be riding, you will get:

$3.00+$1.25x=$28       ($3 added too $1.25 times the number of miles (x) which equals the total amount you have ($28)).

x being the number of miles (so we need to calculate for x)

$3 + $1.25x = $28

-subtract 3 on both sides-

$1.25x=$28-$3

$1.25x=$25

-divide by 1.25 on both sides-

x=$25/$1.25

x=20 miles

Not sure if all calculations are correct, but I hope this helps :)!
