The width of a rectangle is 7 inches less than its length. the area of the rectangle is 120 square inches. solve for the dimensions of the rectangle. length: inches width: inches

area = L x W

W=L-7

120 = L x L-7

120 = L^2-7L

L^2-7L+120 =0

(L-15) (L+8)

L=15, L=-8. It can't be a negative number so L=15

W=15-7 = 8

15*8 =120

 length = 15 inches

width = 8 inches
