Question

A rectangular park has an area of 250 square feet. The length of the park is 7 feet more than twice the width, w,of the park.

Create an equation in terms of w to model this situation.



what is the correct answer

Answer 1

the correct answer is

Answer 2

Let the width of the park be represented by w.

The length of the park is 7 feet more than twice the width, so the length can be represented as (2w + 7).

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: Area = length * width.

Given that the area is 250 square feet, we can create the equation:

250 = (2w + 7) * w

Expanding the equation:

250 = 2w^2 + 7w

Rearranging the terms:

2w^2 + 7w - 250 = 0

So, the equation in terms of w to model this situation is:

2w^2 + 7w - 250 = 0

Answer 3

2w^2 +7w -250 = 0
