Mang jose wants to make a table which has an area of 6m, the length of the table has to be 1m longer than the width. If the width of the table is p meters, what will be the length. Form a quadratic equation that represent the equation.

4 answers

width --- p
length -- p+1

p(p+1) = 6
p^2 + p - 6 = 0

easy to solve by factoring...
Width --- p
length --- p+1

p(p+1)=6
p^2 + p - 6 = 0
