Area=lw
w=width
w=width of 1st, w=width of 2nd (since their widths are equal)
l=length
l=w+1 length of 1st
l=w+2 length of 2nd
Area of 1st = w(w + 1)
Area of 2nd = w(w + 2) - 5
Therefore,
w(w + 1) = w(w + 2) - 5
Solve for w
if the length is 7 meters longer than its width. what is the width of the object if the perimeter is equal to 98
