The width of a rectangle is 5 units less than the length. the area of the rectangle is 6 units. what is the width, in units, of the rectangle?

The width of rectangle is 1 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The area of rectangle is 6 units and its width is 5 units less than the length.

So, to find the width of rectangle.

Let the length be and the width be .

Now, to find the width we put the formula of area of rectangle:

Area = length × width

On solving equation we get:

Therefore, we take the value x=6 as it is positive value:

So, the width of rectangle:

Width =

          =

          =

Therefore, the width of rectangle is 1 unit.
