A rectangle has a length of 13 inches less than 6 times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 6105 square inches, find the length of the rectangle.
---
Area = width*length
6105 = w*(6w-13)
6w^2 - 13w - 6105 = 0
----
-----------------------
Positive solution::
width = 33
length = 6w-13 = 185
-------------------
