I would let the width = x
then the length is x+120
and
x(x+120) = 6400
x^2 + 120x - 6400 = 0
which factors to
(x-40)(x+ 160) = 0
x =40 or x = -160, which is not possible, can't have negative width
width is 40, length is 40+120 = 160
check: area = 40(160) = 6400 , yup!!
the length of a car park is 120 m. longer than its width the area of the car park is 6400 m(2) how would you represents its width

the length of a car park is 120 in longer than its width the area of the car park is 6400m
what equation represents the area of the car park?
refer to the situation below: The car park is 120 m longer than its width. The area of the car park is 6400m^2.
