A rectangles length is 2 in more than its width. The area of the rectangle is 143 square inches. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

The length is 13 inches and the width is 11 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

Let W represent the width of the rectangle.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = LW

The area of the rectangle is 143 square inches. This means that

LW = 143 - - - - - - - - - - - - --1

The rectangle's length is 2 in more than its width. This means that

L = W + 2

Substituting L = W + 2 into equation 1, it becomes

W(W + 2) = 143

W² + 2W - 143 = 0

W² + 13W - 11W - 143 = 0

W(W + 13) - 11(W + 13) = 0

W + 13 = 0 or W - 11 = 0

W = - 13 or W = 11

Since the width cannot be negative, it means that W = 11

L = W + 2 = 11 + 2

L = 13

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
