No I don't think I tried to help so good luck.
Answer:
length = 18 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w = width
L = w+7
Area = l*w
198 = (w+7) (w)
Distribute
198 = w^2 +7w
Subtract 198 from each side
0 = w^2 +7w -198
Factor
What 2 numbers multiply to -198 and add to 7
18* -11 = -198
18+-11 = 7
0=(w+18) (w-11)
Using the zero product property
w+18 =0 w-11=0
w= -18 w=11
We cannot have negative width so w=11
We want the length
l = w+7
l = 11+7 = 18
Write a system of equation based on the number
For an instance, the two numbers are a and b.
"The sum of two numbers is 59" can be written as follows.
⇒ a + b = 59 <em>(first equation)
</em>"The difference is 15" can be written as follows.
⇒ a - b = 15 <em>(second equation)</em>
Solve the system of equation by elimination/substitution method.
First, eliminate b to find the value of a.
a + b = 59
a - b = 15
--------------- + (add)
2a = 74
a = 74/2
a = 37
Second, substitute 37 as a in one of the equations
a + b = 59
37 + b = 59
b = 59 - 37
b = 22
The numbers are 37 and 22
8.5 the answer is and replace the areas
