Question

The length of a rectangle is four meters less than twice its width.
If the area of the rectangle is 96 m^2, what is the length and the width?
An expression for the length of the rectangle in terms of the width would be
J The formula for the area of a rectangle is
Using trial and error, if the area is 96 m^2, then the length and width are
:: area (1xw)
1-4-2w
112&w=8
1=8&w=12
"area 21 + 2w
1-2w-4
=w=21-4
l=24&w 4
area=1xw
::l=4&w= 24
