ASK A QUESTION The rectangle below has an area of x^2-11x+30 square meters and a width of x-5 meters. What expression represents the length of the rectangle?

Question

Area of   x^2-11x+30 width x-5

Answer 1

A = lw

Let L = the length

x² - 11x +30 = (x-5)L

x² - 11x +30 = L

     x - 5

 

(x - 6)(x - 5) = L

       x - 5

x - 6 = L
