If the length of the rectangle is one more than the twice its width, and the area of the rectangle is 300 square meter. What is the measure of the width of the rectangle?
12
Area = (2+ 1). m2 = (2x2 + ) m2
⇒22+ = 300
⇒ 22 + – 300 = 0
⇒22 + 25– 300 = 0
⇒(x – 12) (2x + 25) =0
x= 12
(Because x can not be negative)
