Question

The rectangle below has an area of x^2 -7x+10 square meters and a width of x-5 meters. What expression represents the length of the rectangle?

Answer 1

(x^2 - 7x + 10)/(x - 5)

Explanation:

area of a rectangle is LW, Where L is the length, W is the width.

Area = (x^2 - 7x + 10)

Therefore width = Area/L = (x^2 - 7x + 10)/(x - 5).
