the rectangle below has an area of x^2-6x-7, square meters and a width of x-7 meters. What expression represents the length of the rectangle?

Length = (x^2-6x-7)m²/ (x-7)m

Step-by-step explanation:

let L =length

let W= width

let A = area of the rectangle.

if A = L × W

making L the subject, divide both side by W

A/W= L×W/W

therefore, L =A/W

L= (x²-6x-7)m²/(x-7)m

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
