    Quadratic equation Word promblem
    The length of a playing field is 2 meters longer than its width. If the area of the playing field is 1200 square meters, fing the dimensions of the playing field.

    Universal Truth
    where is the problem?

    length = 2+W
    Area = LW = 1200
    Area = (W)(2+W)
    Area = 2W+W^2
    0 = W^2 + 2W - 1200
    Are you still following?
    Just plug in the numbers to the formula and solve for 0
    A=1
    B=2
    C=1200
    does that help?
