Question

A garden has an area of 24 square feet. The garden is 2 feet longer than

it is wide. What is the width of the garden?
w = 4.8 feet
w = 4 feet
W = 8 feet
w = 3 feet

Answer 1

w = 4ft

Explanation:

b × w = a

(w + 2)(w) = 24

Simplify.

w² + 2w = 24

Solve

w = 4

Double check.

4 × 6 = 24

good luck, i hope this helps :)

Answer 2

w = 4
(The length would be 6.
Thus making 6 x 4 = 24)
