Answer 1

x = a/7

Explanation:

Area is length x width, so let's call our unknown, the length, x

So the total area is 7 (the width) times x

If the total area is a, then we can write the equation a = 7(x)

Next, we have to isolate the variable for the length, x

To do this, we divide both sides by 7, leaving a/7 = x, or x = a/7
