Question 973584
 what is the equation?
Suppose the length of a board is 7 ft.longer than its width.
---------------------------------

What equation would represent the given situation.?
Comment: That depends on the "situation".
If you want area, A = width*length = x(x+7) sq units
----
If you want perimeter, P = 2(width+length+ = 2(x+x+7) = 4x+14 units
