Question

The length of a rectangle is 5 meters longer than its width and the area of the rectangle is 84 meters squared. Which equation represents this problem if w is the width of the rectangle

Answer 1

7 x 12 = 84

Explanation:

7 + 5 = 12

12 - 5 = 7

7 x 12 = 84

So one of the sides is 7 meters and the other is 12 meters
