    w = 6 m

    l = 9 m

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A = 54m² = l*w

    l = w + 3

    54 = w (w+3)

    54 = w² + 3w

    w² + 3w - 54 = 0

    w² + 9w - 6w - 54 = 0

    w (w + 9) - 6 (w + 9) = 0

    (w - 6) (w + 9) = 0

    w - 6 = 0 = > w = 6 m

    w + 9 = 0 = > w = - 9 < 0 (F)

    l = w + 3

    l = 9 m

    Width = 9 meters Length = 6 meters

    Step-by-step explanation:

    9 times 6 is 54

    9 is 3 meters longer than 6 so 9 is the width.

    This means 6 is the length
