Question 1185815
<br>
x = length
x+2 = width<br>
The area (length times width) is at most 35 cm^2 (not 35 cm):<br>
{{{x(x+2)<=35}}}
{{{x^2+2x<=35}}}
{{{x^2+2x-35<=0}}}
{{{(x+7)(x-5)<= 0}}}<br>
{{{-7<=x<=5}}}<br>
Obviously negative values make no sense in the problem.  So<br>
ANSWER: The length x is less than 5 (and not negative)<br>
