The length of a rectangle is 4 inches more than its width. If the area of the rectangle is 285 square inches, what is its length?
\n" ); document.write( "let x=width of rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "x+4=length of rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "width*length=area
\n" ); document.write( "x*(x+4)=285
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+4x=285
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+4x-285=0
\n" ); document.write( "(x+19)(x-15)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=15
\n" ); document.write( "x+4=19
\n" ); document.write( "what is its length? 19 inches \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
