The length of rectangular garden is 5 feet longer than the width. If the are of the garden is 50 square feet, find the length and the width of the garden

Width = x

length = x + 5

x (x + 5) = 50

x^2 + 5x = 50

x^2 + 5x - 50 = 0

(x + 10) (x - 5) = 0

x = 5 or - 10 (Rejected, length cannot be negative)

x = 5

x + 5 = 5 + 5 = 10

Therefore the width is 5 feet and the length is 10 feet
