Answer: The quadratic equation in standard form for the equation that would represent the area of the rectangle is

x^2 + 7x- 170 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be equal to x

The width of a rectangle is 7 meters greater than its length. This would be expressed as

Width of rectangle = x+ 7

If the area of the rectangle is 170 square meters, then it is expressed as

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

x(x+7) = 170

The quadratic equation in standard form for the equation that would represent the area of the rectangle is

x^2 +7x=170

x^2 +7x- 170 = 0
