Answer 2

which option has 2 number that have a difference of 10 and multiply to 1064?

Answer 3

*numbers

Answer 4

or rather, which has an option where the 2 numbers just have a difference of 10?

Answer 5

assume condo will be shape of rectangle length l and width w
given length 10 feet longer than the width means l = w + 10
area = l*w = 1064

Answer 6

Okay, so the first thing you need to do is set up the equations the word problem gives you

So, you have

L = W + 10 -> Because the Length is 10 feet longer the Width

and then the equation for area, which is

L * W = Area

Answer 7

@karendiaz123 i will let @MikaylaSkyy continue

Answer 8

With that, you substitute the equation for L into the equation for Area.
So,
Area = (W+10) * W

And then plug in the area that you know

1064 = (W+10) * W

and Solve for W

Answer 9

Do you know how to do that?
