Question

You are knitting a blanket. You want the area of the blanket to be 24 ft^2. You want the length of the blanket to be 2 ft longer than its width. What should the dimensions of the blanket be?

Answer 1

Let the width be x.
The length would be x+2.
Area is given by the formula:
\[Area= Length \times Width \]
So:
\[24= x \times (x+2)\]

Answer 2

Now you can solve it for x.
