length...w+3

width...w

area=(width)(length)

70=w(w+3)

70=w2+3w

0=w2+3w-70

0=(w...)(w...)

We need two numbers that when added together have a sum of +3, and when multiplied together have a product of -70.  The larger number must be positive while the smaller number must be negative.

0=(w+10)(w-7)

Either or both parenthetical equations must equal zero...

0=w+10...w=-10

A dimension cannot be a negative number.

0=w-7

w=7

Width is 7 cm, length is 10 cm


123462: You tried your best. But the answer is : length = 12.75 and breadth = 9.75
