Question

The length of the top of a table is 4m greater than the width. The area is 60m^2. Find the dimensions of the table.

Answer 1

Let x m be the length of the table then width of the table is (x-4)m,
Now,
Area of rectangle = length * width
60 =x * (x-4)

Answer 2

Now, solve for x
can u?

Answer 3

x(x - 4) = 60

x^2 - 4x - 60

(x -10) (x + 6) = 0

x = 10 and -6?
