Question

The length of a rectangle is 2 meters more than its width. The area of the rectangle is 80 square meters. What is the length and width of the rectangle

Answer 1

I think the answer is
Length = 10 and Width = 8
Let length be x+2 and width be x
x(x+2)=80
x=-10 or 8
The width cannot be negative so the width will be 8
The length is 8+2=10.
