Since we know the area and the length of the rectangular cloth, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle to find the width. The formula is: Area = (length)(width) A = l * w  Replace the area and the length with the values given.  6x2−19x−85=(2x+5)⋅w  Our goal is to get w by itself since we want to find the width. We can divide the length on both sides to get the width by itself.  6x2−19x−852x+5=w  The numerator of the fraction is a quadratic equation. We can simplify the equation to see if we can simplify the fraction any further.  (2x+5)(3x−17)2x+5=w  We can simplify the fraction even further.  1(3x−17)1=w  w = 3x -17  The width of the rectangular cloth is (3x - 17) cm.
