Janae bought a new house. The house is quite large, 2500 square feet, and has a nice sized backyard. She bought the house on a foreclosure, so she got a great deal: $129,900! Janae has a dog, Lyle, who is 18 years old. Lyle loves to play in the yard, but Janae's new house does not have a fenced in yard. Before Janae puts up a fence, she wants to know how big her yard is. Her yard measured as follows: Length: (x-7) Width: (x+2) How would you rephrase this scenario, keeping only information that is of importance?
