Problema Solution

LENGTH OF TABLE IS 4M GREATER THAN THE WIDTH. THE AREA IS 96M^2. FIND THE DIMENSION.

Answer provided by our tutors

let


l = the length of table, l>0

w = the width of table, w>0


LENGTH OF TABLE IS 4 M GREATER THAN THE WIDTH


l = 4 + w


THE AREA IS 96M^2


l*w = 96


plug l = 4 + w into the last equation


(4 + w)w = 96


by solving we find


w = 8 m
