Question 370612: A rectangular painting with a width of x centimeters has an area of x^2+50x square centimeters. Find a binomial that represents the length. Any help will be appreciated since all I come up with for the length is x +50x centimeters but have no idea if this is correct

the area is the product (multiplication) of the length and the width

factoring ___ x^2 + 50x = x (x + 50)

if x is the width , then the other factor must be the length
