Algebra.Com's Answer #86239 by tiger(2)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! let width=x \n" ); document.write( "so, length=x+2 \n" ); document.write( "so, area will be x(x+2)=120 \n" ); document.write( "x^2 +2x-120=0 \n" ); document.write( "x^2 +12x -10x -120 -0 \n" ); document.write( "x(x+12)-10(x+12)=0\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so x=-12 or 10\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so answer will be 10..... \n" ); document.write( " |
