The width of a rectangle is 2 m less than the length. The area is 48 m. Find the dimensions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be 'L' meter

Width of the rectangle= (L-2 ) meter

Area of the rectangle=

Area of a rectangle = length * width

Making the factors of the equation:

Taking common form the equation:

OR

The length of the rectangle cannot be negative, so

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
