We know A=L•W so set 43 equal to A. Equation should look like this thus far: 43=L•W. Now when the question says more than we know that means adding. Since we don’t know the width let w=width. So know your equation should look like this: 43=2+w•(w). Knowing this equation you should be able to solve for the dimensions of the sign. If you need help on that let me know.
