Question 40868: Area of Painting: A rectangular painting with a wide of x centimeters has an area of x squared + 50x square centimeters. Find a binomial that represents the length.
I tried this and got x + 50 = L
My reasoning was A=LW]

This is from the book Elementary and Intermediate Algebra 2nd edition. Chapter 5.1 question 92

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Here W = x cm, A = x%5E2+%2B+50x sq. cm.
So as you say A+=+w%2AL
or L = A%2FW+=+%28x%5E2+%2B+50x%29%2Fx+=+x+%2B+50
So what's the problem?
