Question

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches more than 3 times the width. If the area of the rectangle is 68 square inches, what is the length and width?

Answer 1

Answer:

Width=4, and Length=17

Step-by-step explanation:

first you will make a variable for the width which i will say is x

now make it an equation (3x+5) (x) = 68

then solve 3x^2+5x=68

then 3x^2+5x-68=0

then x=4

then you have to substitute so 3(4)+5= 17 and 4
