a rectangles width is 6 feet less than its length. if the area of the rectangle is 247 square feet what is its length in feet

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

let w be the width and l be the length

Area of rectangle = 247 ft²

width is 6 feet less than its length is

w = l - 6

247 = l( 1 - 6)

l² - 6l - 247 = 0

(l + 13) (l - 19) = 0

l + 13 = 0 l - 19 = 0

l = - 13 l = 19

Since the length should be positive

The length of the rectangle is

Hope this helps you

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0

answer: -0.5 would be the most likley outcome
