A rectangle is such that multiplying the width by 5 gives an answer that is three cm less than the length of the rectangle. If the area of the rectangle is 36cm^2 find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Let the width =W
Length=5W - 3
Area=W * [5W - 3]
36 =W * [5W - 3 ], solve for W
W=3 cm
L=3 x 5 - 3=12 cm
Area=3 x 12 =36 cm^2
