The length of the rectangular garden is 5 meters longer than its width. The area of the garden is 50 square meters. Find the length and with of the garden.
let the width be x meters
length = x+5 meters
x(x+5) = 50
x^2 +5x-50=0
x^2+10x-5x-50=0
x(x+10)-5(x+10)=0
(x-5)(x+10)=0
x=5 which is the width
Length is x+5 = 10 meters
