John has 48 square centimeter tiles he wants to use to

create a mosaic. He wants the mosaic to be rectangular with
a length that is 2 centimeters longer than the width.
Which equation could John solve to find w, the greatest width
in centimeters he can use for the mosaic?
w(w - 2) = 48
w(w + 2) = 48
2w(w - 2) = 48
2w(w + 2) = 48

b or the second option

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "w(w + 2) = 48." John has 48 square centimeter tiles he wants to use to create a mosaic. He wants the mosaic to be rectangular with a length that is 2 centimeters longer than the width.

Let w = width

Let (w+2) = length

Area = w(w+2).
