Question 1 of 40 POS
The area of a rectangular tabletop is 24 ft.^2 lThe length of the table is 2
longer than its width. Which equation could be used to find the width (w) of the tabletop?
0 24 = 2 + 2
O 24 = +
O 24 - 22
O 24 = 22 + 2

Answer 1

The equation required to find Width of rectangle is:
`\mathbf{24=2x+2}`

Explanation:

Area of rectangular table top = 24 ft^2

Let width of table = x

Length of table = x+2

We need to find equation that could be used to find the width (w) of the table top?

The formula used is:
`Area\:of\:rectangle=Length * Width`

Putting values in formula and finding the equation:

`Area\:of\:rectangle=Length * Width\\24=x+x+2\\24=2x+2\\`

So, the equation required to find Width of rectangle is:
`\mathbf{24=2x+2}`
