John has 48 square centimeter tiles he wants to use to
create a mosaic. He wants the mosaic to be rectangular with
a length that is 2 centimeters longer than the width.
Which equation could John solve to find w, the greatest width
in centimeters he can use for the mosaic?
w(w - 2) = 48
w(w + 2) = 48
2w(w - 2) = 48
2w(w + 2) = 48
