The area of a rectangle is A square meters , and the length of the rectangle is k more than m times the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let w = width
\n" ); document.write( "Let L = length
\n" ); document.write( "Later, let k=1 and m=2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Description gives \"L=mw%2Bk\", and \"wL=A\".
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "\"w%28mw%2Bk%29=A\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"mw%5E2%2Bkw=A\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"mw%5E2%2Bkw-A=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "You could do the numberic variable substitutions now in anticipation that the quadratic is factorable. Solve for w and use the result or the value to find L.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "\"2w%5E2%2Bw-66=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "Try for factorability,
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282w-11%29%28w%2B6%29=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use the solution \"2w-11=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2w=11\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28w=11%2F2%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28L=12%29\".
