I want to pour a concrete slab in my backyard with an area of 370 ft2 to put a basketball goal. If the length of the slab is 23
feet less than 6 times the width, answer the following questions. a) What is an applicable x value?
b) What is the width of the concrete slab?
c) What is the length of the concrete slab?
A=lw A=370 l=6w-23 370=w(6w-23) 6w^2-23w=370 6w^2-23w-370 Works out to (W-10) pick this one +10 W=10 or (6w+37) is not the answer to choose -37 6w=-37 /6 /6 W=-6.17
