Question

Answer 1

The width of the rectangle is 7.7 meters and the length is four meters less than twice it's width

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depends on other variable while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variable.

let w represent the width, hence:

Length = 2w - 4

Area = length * width

88 = w(2w - 4)

2w² - 4w - 88 = 0

w = 7.7 meters

The width of the rectangle is 7.7 meters and the length is four meters less than twice it's width
