Question 393516: the width of a rectangle is 5 inches less than its length, and the area is 14 square inches. what are the length and width of a rectangle Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since the factorization of 14 is 7*2, we can conclude that the length is 7 and the width is 2 (as it satisfies the condition already). Or, we could just use and solve via factoring or the quadratic formula.
