The length of a rectangle is 3 more than twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 119 square inches. What are the dimension
s of the rectangle? If x = the width of the rectangle, which of the following equations is used in the process of solving this problem?
2 answers:
If x is the width, and the length is 3 more than twice the width,
the length : 2x+3
Area = length x width
(2x+3)x = 119
By expanding equation,
= 119
Thus,
By factorisation,
(x-7)(2x+17)= 0
x=7 or x= -17/2 (rejected because width cannot be negative)
Thus, the width is 7 and the length is 2(7) +3 = 17
L = 3 + 2w
119 = w × ( 3 + 2w )
119 = 3w + 2w^2
2w^2 + 3w - 119 = 0
( w - 7 ) ( 2w + 11 ) = 0
w = 7
x = w
x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:
150 - 3x = 120 + 2x | +3x
150 = 120 + 5x | -120
30 = 5x | :5
