The area of the rectangle is given as (32x+48)square inches
The question is asking us to factor this expression.The common factor of the two expression is 16.Taking 16 as the common factor we have:
(32x+48)= 16(2x+3)
The next part of the question is asking us to Write an expression for the width when length of the rectangle is 16 inches.
Area of rectangle = length x width
Let w represent the width of the rectangle.
16 (w) =16(2x+3)
Dividing both sides by 16.
w= 2x+3.
