The rectangle below has an area of x^2-x-72x 2 ? x? 72 square meters and a length of x+8x+8 meters. what expression represents the width of the rectangle?

Area of the rectangle is given by:

where

A is the area of the rectangle

l is the length of the rectangle

w is the width of the rectangle respectively.

As per the given statement:

Area of the rectangle(A) =   square meters

length of the rectangle(l) = x+8

Substitute these in the given formula we have;

or

Divide both sides by x+8 we have;

meters.

Therefore, the expression represents the width of the rectangle is x-9 meters
