W= l - 5 where w = width and l = length
area = 84 = l*w = l(l-5)
l(l-5) = 84
l^2 - 5l - 84 = 0
(l - 12)(l + 7) = 0
l = 12
length = 12 and width = 7
Inequalities and equations use similar steps to solve, but inequalities give a range of numbers that can represent the variable while an equation will give a direct answer.
Example:
4+5x=24
First you would subtract 4 or add the opposite of 4 from 24.
4+5x=24
+(-4) +(-4)
—————
5x=20
Then divide each side by 5 or multiply each side by the reciprocal of 5 to isolate the variable.
1/5*5x=20*1/5 (reciprocal)
X= 4
You would use the same steps in an inequality but end up with a different sign.
The answer is 64, happy to help!
