the area of a rectangle is 72 inČ The width is 6 inches greater than the length What expression represents the width
-----------
72 = 6*12
---------
The hard way:
w*(w+6) = 72
Now we have to factor anyway, and get w = 6, w = 12.
Sometimes the answer is obvious.

If it said, "the area of a rectangle is 73 inČ The width is 6 inches greater than the length What expression represents the width"
then you have to do some math.
