Question

The lenght of a rectangle is 16 inches,and its are is (32x + 48) square inches, factor the expression with the area . Write an expression for the width.

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, we must find out what expression we must have for the are to be (32x+48) square inches given the length of 16 inches. We yield the formula for area of a rectangle such that

A = length * width ............... Then we plug in our information such that

(32x+48) = 16 * width..........We divide out 16 from both 32 and 48 to get

width = 2x+3

I hope this helped!
