5 meters. The rectangle below has an area of x2 – 112 + 30 square meters and a length of x
What expression represents the width of the rectangle?
2 - 5
Width
22 – 110 + 30
Width
meters

The width is x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the with factor out the area x^2 - 11x + 30

- 11x +30  to factor it find two numbers that multiply to get 30 and add up to get -11 . And that two numbers are -6 and -5 .

- 5x - 6x + 30   now group them

( - 5x) (-6x+ 30)   factor them out.

x(x - 5) - 6(x -5)   Factor x-5 out  

(x-5)(x-6)  since the length is x-5 then the width is x-6.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
