Given:
- Length of rectangle = (x+2) cm
- Breadth of rectangle = (x-5) cm
- Area of rectangle = 60 cm²
Required equation:
We know that,
Area of rectangle = l×b
So, on substituting the values,
60 = (x+2)(x-5)
60 = x(x-5) + 2(x-5)
60 = x²-5x + 2x-10
60 = x²-3x-10
0 = x²-3x-10-60
0 = x²-3x-70
Hence, is the required equation of the given information.
