Question 1205884
length = x + 5
width = x


area = length * width = x * (x + 5) = x^2 + 5x.
since area = 750, you get x^2 + 5x = 750
subtract 750 from both sides of that equation to get x^2 + 5x - 750 = 0
that would be selection C.


factor that equation to get (x + 30) * (x - 25) = 0
solve for x to get x = -30 or x = 25
x = 25 because x can't be negative.


your solution is the width of the court is x = 25 meters.
