What is the length of a rectangle if the length is (x+3)cm, the width being 2cm and the area being 50cm Squared?
=================================================
Because the goal is to solve for length, which is x+3, the question may as well be re-phrased:
What is the length of a rectangle if the length is L cm, the width being 2cm and the area being 50 sq cm?
and we simply find L.
=======================================
A = L*W
50 = L*2
25 = L

Ans: L=25cm
