The diagram below represents the measurements of Jennie’s yard. The yard’s width is x feet shorter than its length. If the area
of the yard is 540 square feet, how many feet shorter than the length is the width?
A yard with a length of 30 feet and a width of (30 minus x) feet.
Which equation represents the scenario?
30 + (30 – x) = 540
540 – 30 = 30 – x
30(30 – x) = 540
540 – (30 – x) = 30
