Question

How do you find the width of the problem stated below? Plz be patient whilst I type.

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is 2x*squared* - 5x - 12 and the length is 2x + 3. Find the width.

Answer 2

you will need to factorise

\[2x^2 - 5x - 12\]

one of the factors (2x+3) has been given as

Area = length* width


By factorising the area equation you will find the length and width

Answer 3

So the second one in the factorized one is the answer? o-o

Answer 4

thats correct...
