Question 440777: the length of a rectangular frame is 9 cm more than the width. area inside is 90 sq. cm. what's the width of the frame? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x(x+9)=90
x2+9x=90
x2+9x-90=0
(x+15)(x-6)=0
x=-15 or 6
Throwing out the negative answer, we get the width to be 6 cm., and the length to be 15 cm..
