Carly wants to find the area of a rectangle with a length that is 3 units longer than 2 times its width. If the width is represented by w, which equation represents the area, A?

The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is,

A = wl

where,

A=area

w=width

l=length

so with what was given,

l=2w+3

thus, to solve,

A=w (2w+3)

so to find the value of A, we will use the equation above. However, since the value for w is not given, we cannot continue with the solution yet.
