Determine the solutions of the equation. What solution
makes sense for the situation?
A rectangle has a length that is 5 inches greater than its
width, and its area is 104 square inches. The equation (x
+5)x = 104 represents the situation, where x represents
the width of the rectangle.
(x + 5)x = 104
x2 + 5x - 104 = 0
What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
width=
inches
length =
inches
