A rectangle is 2 meters longer than it is wide. If the area of the rectangle is 35 square meters what is the width? \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let width be x m
\n" ); document.write( "length will be x+2 m
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 35 sq.m,\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area = L * W\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x(x+2)=35
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+2x=35
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+2x-35=0
\n" ); document.write( "factorise
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+7x-5x-35=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x(x+7)-5(x+7)=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x-5)(x+7)=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x= 5 Or -7
\n" ); document.write( "Ignore negative
\n" ); document.write( "width is 5 m
\n" ); document.write( "lengthe = 7 m\r
\n" ); document.write( "
