the area of a retangle of length x is given by 15x-x^2. find the width of the rectangle in terms of x. Need help with this dont understand. thank you

Robbie - The area of a rectangle = (length) x (width), agree? The problem provides the following information: length = x area = 15x - x^2 Let width = w, so area = (x) x (w) Solve this equation for the width w:  (x) x (w) = 15x - x^2 Hope this helps
