A rectangle with an area of 120 in 2 has a length 8 inches longer than two times its width. What is the width of the rectangle?
1 answer:
width = x
length = 2x+8
area = l x w
x<span>(2x+8)</span>=120
<span><span>2<span>x^2</span>+8x−120=0 </span>
</span>
<span><span><span>x^2</span>+4−60=0 </span></span>
<span><span><span>(x+10)</span><span>(x−6)</span>=0</span>
</span>
<span><span>x=−10 and x=6 </span></span>
<span><span> width has to be a positive number</span></span>
Width = <span>6
