A rectangle has an area of 12 square inches, and the length is 11 inches more than the width. Find the length and width of the rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( " If x represents the width of the rectangle, select all the equations that could be used to solve this problem.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "width = x
\n" ); document.write( "length = x+11
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+11) = 12
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 11x - 12 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Factor::
\n" ); document.write( "(x+12)(x-1) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Positive solution:
\n" ); document.write( "width = x = 1 in
\n" ); document.write( "length = x+11 = 12 in
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
