Question 1074600: The width of a rectangular-shaped deck is 7 meters shorter than its length. If the area of the deck is 44 square meters, then what are the dimensions Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let l be the length of your deck. Then the width is l-7. So:
l(l-7)=44
lē-71-44=0
(l-11)(l+4)=0
l=11 or -4
The length of the deck is 11; and the width is 4. ☺☺☺☺
