The width of a rectangle is the length minus 5 units. The area of the rectangle is 6 units. What is the width, in units, of the rectangle?

Width of the rectangle is 1 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle = length × width

6 = x (x - 5)

6 = x² - 5x

x² - 5x - 6 = 0

x² - 6x + x - 6 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)

x(x - 6) + 1(x - 6) = 0

(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

x = -1, 6 (negative value is neglected)

x = 6 units

x - 5 = 1 unit

a variable is any characteristics, number, or quantity that can be measured or counted. a variable may also be called a data item. hope i !

just get this app called photo math it should be able to do those
