the length of a rectangle is 12m more than twice the width . the area of rectangle is 320 square m. write an equation that can be used to find the lenth and width of the rectangle . also find the dimension of the rectangle

Let width be W
Then length = 2W + 12
The ONE equation you need is one that describes the area, and is: W(2W + 12) = 320
Solve this for W, the width
Add 12 to twice the value of W, and you'll have the length
It's as simple as that.....nothing COMPLEX nor CONFUSING.
