Question

If the width of a rectangle is 16 inches less than twice the length and the area
is 96 square inches, find the width of the rectangle.

Answer 1

plz help

Answer 2

let the length be x.
so width= 2x-16
area = length * width= (x)(2x-16)=96
2x^2-16x-96=0
x^2-8x-48=0
x=12.
length =12, width= 8
