Answer:

So length of top of table is 3x-7 inches.

Explanation:

Here we are given that the top of the table has a width that is given by 2x inches.

The area of the top is given by:


Area=6x^(2)-14x

Now the top of the table is of the shape of rectangle and area of rectangle is given by:


A=l*w

where l is length of the table and w is width of the table.

Plugging the values of A and w in the formula we have:


6x^(2)-14x=l*2x

Dividing by 2x,

l=3x-7 inches

So length of top of table is 3x-7 inches.
