Answer:

The width of the floor is 10 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to form expressions of width and length in terms of w. With the given information :

width = w ft

length = (w - 2) ft

Given that the area of rectange is A = length × width so you have to subtitute the expressions and value into the formula :

A = l × w

80 = (w - 2) × w

w(w - 2) = 80

w² - 2w = 80

w² - 2w - 80 = 0

(w + 8)(w - 10) = 0

w + 8 = 0

w = -8 (rejected)

w - 10 = 0

w = 10

Can someone teach me how to balance algebra equations, I just don't get how to do it. Like with fractions?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

<h3>Move all the x terms to one side. Use inverse operations and add 1 5 x 15x 15x to both sides to keep the equation balanced. Solve by working backwards from the order of operations. This means we need to undo the −2 first by adding 2 to both sides of the equation to keep it balanced.</h3>
