Question 276045: The width of a rectangle is 18 in. less than its length. If the area of the rectangle is 1440 in^2, find the dimensions of the rectangle. Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! width = x - 18
length = x
area = 1440
You need the equation: A = L*W
1440 = x(x - 18)
Can you take it from here?
