Question

the width of a rectangle is 5 inches less than its length, and the area is 14 square inches. What are the length and width of the rectangle?​

Answer 1

Width = 2 inches

Length = 7 inches

Explanation:

14 only has two factors, 7 and 2, which conveniently happen to be 5 apart. This makes the width 2 inches and the length 7 inches to get an area of 7x2= 14 inches squared
