Question 952503: It needs to have an area of x^2 + x - 30. We know that one side will need to be x + 6. What length does the other side need to be

w for width and L for length give area A according to wL=A.

You have an expression for area and an expression for one of the dimensions, and you want to know the other dimension.

, using b as your other unknown expression for that dimension.

Can you factorize the area expression? Any common factor in both the left member and the right member?
