The length of a rectangle is seven times its width. The area of the rectangle is 175 square centimeters. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = l × w

where

l is the length

w is the width

The length is seven times the width is written as

l = 7w

Area of the rectangle = 175 cm²

7w × w = 175

7w² = 175

Divide both sides by 7

w² = 25

Find the square root of both sides

w = √25

w = 5cm

But l = 7w

l = 7(5)

l = 35cm

The length is 35cm

The width is 5cm

factor trees are nice.

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12
