The length of a rectangle is the width minus 5 units. the area of the rectangle is 36 units. what is the width, in units, of the rectangle

The width of the rectangle is  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> the length of rectangle

y----> the width of rectangle

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

so

------> equation A

-----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is

see the attached figure

therefore

The width of the rectangle is  

9 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width of the rectangle .

Then, the length would be x-5.

Area of rectangle = Length x Breadth

Since ,  The area of the rectangle is 36 units.

But width cannot be negative , so width = x= 9 units

Hence, the width of the rectangle = 9 units.
