: Here is the problem I am having trouble with:The length of a rectangle is 2 cm more than 5 times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 65 cm2, find the dimensions of the rectangle to the nearest thousandth.I know the width will be x and the length will be 5x+2 but I'm not sure how to proceed. Can you help? Thanks This question is from textbook
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You made a good start.
A=L*W 65=x(5x+2)
Using the quadratic formula x=3.411(width)
5x+2=19.056 (length)
You've got talent. Keep plugging at it.
