<span>So, L*W=A Because it is 4 cm longer, L=W+4 Because the area is 96, LW=96 Substitute to get W(W+4)=96 Multiply it out. W^2+4W-96=0 By solving the quadratic, W+12(W-8)=0 so either W+12 or W-8 is zero. The width must be positive, so the width is 8. Therefore the length is 12. 

  Hope this helps.</span>

2 + 5.8 = 6 why is this incorrect
Tanzania [10]

This is incorrect because 2 + 5.8 = 7.8. And 7.8 does not equal 6. 2 + 4 = 6 is the correct answer. This could be represented by this:

2 + x = 6.

Subtract two from both sides to get:

x = 4.

When substituted back into the equation:

2 + (4) = 6.
