1 as the highest exponent of the variable.
3. Those equations that are not linear has the
highest exponent more than 1 while the linear has
1 as the highest exponent of the equation.

Area = 18 sq. ft.

1.

2. Possible dimensions of the bulletin board: 2 ft. by 9 ft.

and 3 ft. by 6 ft.
3. Find two positive numbers whose product equals 18
. (Note: Area = length x width)
4. Let w be the width (in ft.). Then the length is w + 7.
Since the area is 18, then w ( w + 7) = 18 . (Other
variables can be used to represent the length or width
of the bulletin board)
5. Taking the product on the left side of the equation
formulated item 4 yields w 2 + 7w = 18 .
