Question 219980: If a person wants the flat ceiling in his tool shed to be parallel to the floor. Two of the posts are 80" long and two are 78" long. Will the ceiling be parallel to the floor? (I guessed no because of the different lengths of the poles), and What must the person do to make the ceiling parllel to the floor? (Would I put an 80" post across in the corner across from the other 80" post and the same with the 78" posts)?

Question 228138: The area of a rectangle is 54 square units. Find the length and the width of the rectangle.
L = x+2 W = x-1
My work so far leads to me find that this unable to be factored to solve for x
(x+2)(x-1)=54
x2+2x-x-2=54
x2+x-2=54
x2+x-2-54=0
x2+x-56=0
(x-8)(x+7)=0
x=8 x=-7
can't use -7 so omit
x=8
back to original problem/formula
x+2 would read 8+2 = 10
x-1 would read 8-1= 7
IS THIS CORRECT??
Thank you for your help!
