The area of a rectangle is 56 cm. The length is 2 cm more then x and the width is 5 cm less than twice x. Solve for x. ROund to the nearest whole number.

Respuesta :

Answer:

x^{2} -3x=46

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that the area of the rectangle is L x W.

[tex]L= x+2\\W= x-5\\(x+2) * (x-5)=56[/tex]

So, we would get [tex]x^{2} -5x+2x-10[/tex]=56

[tex]x^{2} -3x=46[/tex]
