A new homeowner needs to determine the length of his rectangular backyard before he goes to the store for fencing. He knows that the area of the yard is 51 square meters and that the width is 5.2 meters longer
than the length. Which equation could be solved to determine the dimensions of the backyard, where the length
is / and the width is w?
0=w2+5.2w -51
o
0=12+5.21-51
4w + 10.4 = 51
о
41 +10.4 = 51
