Width of the rectangle is 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x. Then the length = x - 3. Find dimensions of the rectangle if its area = 54 sq. units

Area of the rectangle = length × width

54 = x (x - 3)

54 = x² - 3x

x² - 3x - 54 = 0

x² + 6x - 9x - 54 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)

x(x + 6) - 9(x + 6) = 0

(x + 6)(x - 9) = 0

x = -6, 9 (negative value is neglected)

x = 9 units

(3x-9) +(x+19)+x=180
5x+10=180
-10=-10
5x=170
5 = 5
x=34

2x+(2x+10)+x=180
5x+10=180
-10=-10
5x=170
5 = 5
x=34
