The area of a rectangular tabletop is 24 ft.^2 lThe length of the table is 2
longer than its width. Which equation could be used to find the width (w) of the tabletop?
0 24 = 2 + 2
O 24 = +
O 24 - 22
O 24 = 22 + 2

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation required to find Width of rectangle is: $\mathbf{24=2x+2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangular table top =  24 ft^2

Let width of table = x

Length of table = x+2

We need to find equation that could be used to find the width (w) of the table top?

The formula used is: $Area\:of\:rectangle=Length \times Width$

Putting values in formula and finding the equation:

$Area\:of\:rectangle=Length \times Width\\24=x+x+2\\24=2x+2$

So, the equation required to find Width of rectangle is: $\mathbf{24=2x+2}$
