The area of a rectangle room is 750 square feet. The width of the room is 5 feet less than the length of the room. Which equation can be used to solve for Y the length of the room
By definition, the area of a rectangle is given by: A = (width) * (long) Substituting values we have: 750 = (y-5) * (y) Rewriting we have: 750 = y ^ 2 - 5y y ^ 2 - 5y - 750 = 0 Answer: An equation that can be used to solve for And the length of the room is: y ^ 2 - 5y - 750 = 0
