the length of a rectangle is 13 centimeters less than its width. What are the dimensions of the rectangle if it’s area is 114 square centimeters?

Answer:
w = 19
L = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
L = w - 13
a = lw
114 = w(w - 13)
114 = w² - 13w
w² - 13w - 114
(w - 9) (w + 6)
w ≠ -6 (a length cannot be negative)
w = 19
L = 19 - 13
L = 6
