the length of a rectangle exceeds its width by 12 inches and the area is 85 square inches what is the length and width ? i got 73 and 12 is that correct ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no solve it like this (x)(x+12)=85 because the two in the brackets are length and width and area equal to length*breadth and btw the ans. is 5 and 17
