Question 45702: REPOST (previously unanswered): Solve by factoring.
Area of a painting. A rectangular painting with a width of “x” centimeters has an area of x² + 50x square centimeters (50x cm²). Find a binomial that represents the length. Please show all steps in work and answer. Thanks.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let L = length of painting
Let x = width of painting
Area of painting is A = Lx
But A = x² + 50x
Therefore,
Lx = x² + 50x
(divide both sides by x)
L = x + 50
