Question 959755
<i>The length L of a rectangle mural is k feet more than m times the height, h.  The area is A feet squared.  Find the height of the mural.</i>


{{{system(L=mh+k,L*h=A)}}}


Known: m, k, A
Unknown: L, h


Solve the system for h.




*******************Less use of symbolism********************


{{{system(L=3h+2,L*h=165)}}}
but you still cannot avoid "algebra".  You can use simple substitution to solve for h.


{{{(3h+2)*h=165}}}
