<PRE><B>Question 1009741</B>
A rectangle has a length of 11 inches less than 3 times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 592 square inches, find the length of the rectangle. 
-----
width:: w
length:: 3w-11
-----
Equation:
Area = width*length
A = w(3w-11)
3w^2 - 11w = 592
3w^2 - 11w - 592 = 0
-----
width = 16; length = 3*16-11 = 48-11 = 37 inches
------------
Cheers,
