Can you help me with this question?
Explain how to find the length and width of the tank. Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x(x+1)(9)=504
x2+x=56
x2+x-56=0
(x+8)(x-7)=0
x=-8 or 7
Throwing out the negative result, we get the width to be 7 ft., and the length to be 8 ft..
