Question

The length of a rectangle is 5ft less than three times the width, and the area of the rectangle is 50ft^2. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
L*W
L*W=50
L=3w-5
(3w-5)*W=50
L=5?

Answer 1

@agent0smith

Answer 2

L = 3W - 5

Area = L*W = W(3W-5) = 50

W(3W-5) = 50

distribute and solve for W, prob using quadratic formula

Answer 3

I meant w=5

Answer 4

and L = 10

Answer 5

Yep :)
