Question 1024080: A rectangle with an area of 104 square inches has a width that is 5 inches less than its length write an equation representing the area of the rectangle Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Make length = 'x'
width = x - 5
Area = length x width
104 = x(x - 5)
104 = x^2 - 5x
x^2 - 5x - 104 = 0
Hope this helps :-)
