28 yards^2..................................
7 (x - 20)
use distribution method
7x - 140
A=L*W
L=W+5
A=(W+5)W
500=W²+5W
W²+5W-500=0
W=(-5+/-√(25+4*500))/2=(-5+/-√2025)/2=(-5+/-45)/2
we are going to take only positive value, so W=(-5+45)/2=20
L=W+5=20+5=25
W=20,
L=25
If your 2 means "u squared" then
Just do 8-42=-34
The answer is -32u^2
I use ^ to show exponents
