A rectangle has an area of A in.² and the length L is k inches more than the width w. Find the length and the width of the rectangle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"L=w%2Bk\" and \"wL=A\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"w%28w%2Bk%29=A\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w%5E2%2Bkw-A=0\".
\n" ); document.write( "Most of these exercises yield a factorable quadratic equation, so continuing completely in symbols is not necessary but can be chosen if you want. Putting in the given values now gives...
\n" ); document.write( "\"w%5E2%2B11w-12=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28w-1%29%28w%2B12%29=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "The needed answer that has meaning is \"highlight%28w=1%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28L=12%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
