The area of a rectangle is 48 cm² and the length of the rectangle is 8 cm longer than the width.
the area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length times the width.
during the set up step of the five-step problem-solving plan, which equation would you set up to solve for the width?
w(w+8)=48
w + 8 = 48
8w = 48
w + 8w = 48

A

Step-by-step explanation: You know multiplying will be involved, so B can automatically be removed. It states that the length is 8 cm longer. You know absolutely nothing about the width, so the variable of w can be given for the width. You also know the length will be 8 cm longer, of w+8. w and w+8 will be multiplied, which gives you w(w+8).
