--------
weakest strength? What is your strongest weakness?
----------
A rectangular garden is 5 ft longer than it is wide. Its area is 1050 ft{}^2. What are its dimensions?
-----
Find 2 factors of 1050 whose difference is 5
Hint: One of the factors 1's digit has to be 5 or 0 for the product to end in zero.
----
You can make it an equation, but then you have to factor 1050 anyway.
-------
w*(w+5) = 1050
w%5E2+%2B+5y+-+1050+=+0
