The area of the rectangle shown is 49in.^2 find the length and the width of the rectangle . With the length being x+6 and width 2x+5
--------------
Check for integers first.
49 sq inches is 1*49 or 7*7
1 by 49 doesn't work.
7 by 7 works
L = 7
W = 7
===============
The hard way:
(x+6)*(2x+5) = 49
etc
