Answer: [tex]2x^2-7x=72[/tex] , where x= width of the rectangle ( in inches).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= width of the rectangle ( in inches).
Then its length = 2x-7 ( in inches).
Area of rectangle = Length × width
= (2x-7) × (x)
= 2x × x -7 ×x
= 2x²-7x
The area of the rectangle is 72 square inches.
[tex]\Rightarrow\ 2x^2-7x=72[/tex]
Hence, the equation that represents the given situation :
[tex]2x^2-7x=72[/tex]
