The length of the top of a table is 4m greater than that the width. The area is 60m^2. Please help me find the dimensions of the width and length. Thank you in advance for your help?

Answer 1

Strange, I answered this question, but it has disappeared.
It shows up in the "related questions" below, however.
How very odd

width = x
length = x+4
x(x+4) = 60
x^2 + 4x - 60 = 0
(x+10)(x-6) = 0
x = 6, or x = -10, the last answer makes no sense

width = 6
lenth = 10

Answer 2

This time is showed up. Thank you very much Reiny.
