Answer:

width = 2ft and length = 9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

width W = x

length L = x +7

area of a rectangle A = L * W

18 = (x + 7) * x

18 = x² + 7x

x² + 7x -18 =0

solve the equation by factorisation

x² -2x + 9x - 18 =0

x(x - 2) + 9(x - 2) =0

(x - 2)(x + 9) = 0

x = 2 and -9

therefore the width is 2ft because it is positive and the negative value is ignored

the length = 2 + 7 = 9ft

Solve 0.25[2.5x + 1.5(x – 4)] = –x.
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

X = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

0.25[2.5x + 1.5(X-4)]= -X

0.25[2.5x + 1.5x - 6] = -x

0.25[4x -6] = -x

1x + x = 1.5

2x = 1.5

x = 1.5/2

x = 0.75
