Question

The area of a rectangle is 8x^2+14x+3. The length is 2x+3. what is the width?

Answer 1

Do the division, its simple.

Area/length = width

Answer 2

I know, but how do i do that, when its in those forms..

Answer 3

Long division of polynomials, it's in every algebra textbook.

steps:
1. Divide first term,
2. Multiply by the factor found in step 1
3. Subtract the new polynomial
4. Repeat until you obtain an undivisible term,

if this isn't clear your textbook for sure has an adequate explanation with examples as well.

Answer 4

if you need more info you can check out this tutorial i once did on dividing polynomials by binomials :) it might help ^_^ http://openstudy.com/users/lgbasallote#/updates/4f9c9dace4b000ae9ed1966f
