Area =
44 ft?
(x - 12) ft
(x - 5) ft
length:
width:
ft

x= 16 ft

length = 4 ft

width = 11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is length* width

so the length is ( x - 12 )

and the width is ( x - 5 )

the area is 44ft

so now set up an equation and solve for x

( x - 12 ) ( x - 5 ) = 44

distribute

x^(2) - 17x + 60 = 44

inverse operations

x^(2) - 17x + 60 = 44

                - 60     - 60

x^(2) - 17x = -16

factor

x^(2) - 17x = -16

x ( x - 17 ) = -16

now it is pretty clear that the answer is:

x = 16

just substitute it into the equation and check

( x - 12 ) ( x - 5 ) = 44

( 16 - 12 ) ( 16 - 5 ) = 44

( 4 ) ( 11 ) = 44

44 = 44

this also shows that

the length is 4

because:

( x - 12 )

= ( 16 - 12 )

= 4

and the width is 11

because:

( x - 5 )

= ( 16 - 5 )

= 11
