The area of a rectangle is 91 square inches. If the length of the rectangle is 1 less than twice its width, write an equation that could be used to find the width, w, of the rectangle.



Answer :

The equation that can be used to find the width, w, of the rectangle with the given area is 2w² - w - 91 = 0

To determine the equation that can be used to find the width we use the following formula; Area of a rectangle = length × width

Since the area of the rectangle is 91 square inches and the length of the rectangle is 1 less than twice its width, this can be represented as;

Length of the given rectangle = 2w - 1

Using the area formula the equation to find the width would be:

(2w - 1)(w) = 91

2w² - w - 91 = 0

Hence 2w² - w - 91 = 0, is the equation that can be used to find the width.
