Answer:

8-10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of the carpet is two more than the width, the width can be expressed as x and the length can be expressed as x+2. This means that the area(x^2+2x) must be greater than 48 but no less than 80.

Now we can solve for both the maximum and minimum cases:

x^2+2x=48, x^2+2x-48=0, now we can factor, (x+8)(x-6)=0, and now we can use the Zero Product Property to find x=-8;x=6. Since we cant have negative width, x at least has to be equal to 6.

x^2+2x=80,x^2+2x-80=0, now we can factor, (x+10)(x-8), and now using the Zero Product Property to find x=-10;x=8, and since it must be positive, at most x can equal 8.

Now since the length is two more than the width, x, you add two to both of these values and get a range of 8-10 feet.
