Solve this word problem leading to quadratic equation: the area of a rectangle is 60cm². the length is 11cm more than the width. find the width.

Step-by-step explanation:

let : x The length and y the width you have this system :

xy =60(1)

x = y+10...(2)

put the value for x in (1):  (y+10)y =60

the quadratic equation is : y² +10y - 60 = 0

Δ =b² - 4ac        a = 1        b= 10      c= - 60

Δ =10² - 4(1)(-60) = 324 =18²

y 1 = (-10-18)/2 negatif refused

y 2 = (-10+18)/2 =4

the width is 4

if x decreases by 4 then y increases by 10
