A rectangle has the width x and it's [sic] length is 10 greater hang he width. For what values of x the area of the rectangle is greater or equal to 24
------------
Area = x*(x+10)
Find x for Area = 24.
x*(x+10) = 24
x%5E2+%2B+10x+-+24+=+0
(x+12)*(x-2) = 0
x = -12
=============
Ignore the negative solution.
---
x = 2
x >=2 --> Area >=24
=========================================
it's = it is
