Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLY PLEASE HELP!!!!A rectangle has a length that is 5 inches greater than its width, and its area is 104 square inches. The equation (x + 5)x = 104 represents the situation, where x represents the width of the rectangle.
The first step in solving by factoring is to write the equation in standard form, setting one side equal to zero. What is the equation for the situation, written in standard form?
x2 – 99 = 0
x2 – 99x = 0
x2 + 5x + 104 = 0
x2 + 5x – 104 = 0

Answer 1

Answer: x2 + 5x – 104 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute the x into the x + 5 to make it x2 + 5x
2. Subtract 104 from the other side to set the equation equal to zero
3. Final answer is x2 + 5x – 104 = 0
