John has 48 square centimeter tiles he wants to use to create a mosaic. he wants the mosaic to be rectangular with a length that is 2 centimeters longer than the width.
which equation could john solve to find w, the greatest width in centimeters he can use for the mosaic?
w(w – 2) = 48
w(w + 2) = 48
2w(w – 2) = 48
2w(w + 2) = 48
