The length of a rectangle is 4 inches longer than twice its width. The area of the rectangle is 96 square inches. What is the length and width of the rectangle?

Let x=length and y=width

Solve the first equation for y and substitute it into the 2nd equation

Reject x=-8 because the length cannot be a negative number
So x=6
Substitute x to find y
