I'm confused

Answer 1

Hello Lilia222

Answer 2

I have set up the following equation 4x=25+4x
I'm a bit confused...

Answer 3

Area of a rectangle
A = length x width

Answer 4

the length is 4 more than-> 4(w)
the area is 25 more than-> 4(w)

Answer 5

Length of a rectangle is 4 "more" than its width.
4+L = W

Answer 6

Area of a rectangle is 25 "more" than 4 "times" the width
A = 25 + 4W

Answer 7

You know have a value for the Width and Area. So if you re-arrange the Width formula you can find a formula for the Length.
\[4 + L = W\]
\[L = W - 4\]

Answer 8

Using the formula
\[Area = L \times W\]
Plug in what you know and solve for what you do not know

Answer 9

that's impossible there is not another number

Answer 10

A = l x w

Answer 11

25+4W = (W-4) x (W)
Solve for W?

Answer 12

10.40

Answer 13

10.40 = w
the length is 4 more than 10.40-> 14.4
the area is 25 more than 10.40-> 35.4

Answer 14

no area is 66.6

Answer 15

\[25 + 4W = (W-4) \times W\]
\[25 - 4W = W^2-4W\]
If we add 4W to both sides we get\[25 = W^2\]

Answer 16

It is asking for the Width (W) not the area?

Answer 17

You must now solve for W to find your answer.

Answer 18

Using the "opposite" operation of squared and doing it to both sides.

Answer 19

5 :)

Answer 20

Correct! Great job.
