Question 49262: How do I find the length of each side of a rectangle if the Area = 504 in2 and one side is 14(height) and the other is 10x-24(length)

Try this:
For a rectangle, Area = Length X Width.
504 = (10x-24)(14) Simplify and solve for x.
504 = 140x - 336 Add 336 to both sides of the equation.
840 = 140x Divide both sides by 140.
6 = x
The length is:
L = 10x-24 = 10(6)-24 = 60-24 = 36 inches.
Area = (14)(36) = 504 sq.in.
