Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image provides a problem asking to write an expression for the length of a rectangle. The area of the rectangle is given as square units, and the width is provided as units. The formula for the area of a rectangle is:
We can rearrange this to solve for the length:
Given the area is and the width is , the expression for the length is:
We can simplify this by factoring out the common terms:
Canceling the terms:
Thus, the expression for the length of the rectangle is .
