Can someone simply tell me what methods I must use in order to solve this word problem? Please, don't include the answer. I wish to solve this on my own. However, I would truly appreciate it if anyone could evaluate my answer afterwards.
"A rectangle has a width w and its length is 4 units longer than 2 times the width, or 2w + 4. Write a polynomial for the area of the rectangle."

My answer: 2w^2 + 4^2?
Have I answered correctly?
as you know,
area = width * length
area = w*(2w+4)
area = width * length
area = w*(2w+4)
