The length of a rectangle is 5 units more than the width. The area of the rectangle is 36 units. What is the length, in units, of the rectangle?

11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do it this way:

Length = l

width = w

initial equation for area is l * w

We know that l = w+5

substitute.

w+5 * w = 36

solve.

6w = 36

w=6

The width is 6 units.

6+5 = 11

length = 11 units
