Problema Solution
a rectangle has a length of 22 yards less than 7 times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 2360 square yards, find the length of the rectangle.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'w' represent the width, then '7w-22' represents the length, both in units of yards. Area = length * width.
2360=w(7w-22)
w=20
7*20-22=118
So the rectangle is 20 yards wide and 118 yards long.
