The area of a rectangle is 50ab and its width is 10b. What is its length?

Question

goldphenoix · Answer

Well, the formula for finding the area of a rectangle is Length x Width = Area.
We know the area and the width. So we can put that information into the equation.
Our equation should look like:
Length x 10 = 50
Now just do the equation. 50/10= ?

One more thing, the question has two fives, one of them is 5ab, the other is 5a?

goldphenoix · Answer

Oooh. Its not simple as I expected.
Anyway, Length x Width = Area
Length x 10b = 50 ab
Divide 10b. So, (50 ab / 10b) = ?

anonymous · Answer

That'd be 5a. Alrighty.

goldphenoix · Answer

Yep. Length = 5a.
You can check it if you want.

5a * 10 b = 50ab. :)

I hope this help!
Also, you should read what goformit said. I thought he was writing random things. >_>
