The width of a rectangle is 6 kilometers less than twice its length. If its area is 80 square kilometers, Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dimensions would be Length and Width Area = Length * Width Area = 80 Length = L Width = 2L - 6 So you would set it up as: 80 = (2L-60)L And solve for L
