Ohn has 48 square centimeter tiles he wants to use to create a mosaic. he wants the mosaic to be rectangular with a length that is 2 centimeters longer than the width. which equation could john solve to find w, the greatest width in centimeters he can use for the mosaic? w(w – 2) = 48 w(w + 2) = 48 2w(w – 2) = 48 2w(w + 2) = 48

can be used by John.

Step-by-step explanation:

John has 48 square centimeter tiles he wants to use to create a mosaic.

We can say that 48 square cm is the area of the rectangle.

Let the width of the mosaic be = w

So, given is, He wants the mosaic to be rectangular with a length that is 2 centimeters longer than the width.

Now area of rectangle is given as =

Substituting l= w+2

square cm

Hence, the equation John can use to solve and find w, the greatest width in centimeters he can use for the mosaic is :

it would be:

c.parallelogram.
