Question

Carly wants to find the area of a rectangle with a length that is 3 units longer than 2 times its width. If the width is represented by w, which equation represents the area, A?

Answer 1

The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is,
A = wl
where,
A=area
w=width
l=length

so with what was given,
l=2w+3

thus, to solve,
A=w(2w+3)

so to find the value of A, we will use the equation above. However, since the value for w is not given, we cannot continue with the solution yet.
