You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
Let's represent the width with x and the length with 2x. To find the area we multiply length times width like this:
x(2x)=18 rewritten it will look like:
2x^2=18 Now divide both sides by 2
x^2=9 Now square root each side gives us:
x=3
So the width is 3 and the length is 6
Check it out. Multiply 3 times 6 and gives us 18
