Hang was trying to factor 10x^2 + 5x she found that the greatest common factor of these terms was 5x and made an area model what is the width of the area model

Respuesta :

Width of Heng's area model is  2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Greatest common factor is 5x

To Find:

The width = ?

Solution:

let the  be the area

And  5x be the length

Then area  = length  x  width

Now rewriting the formula for width, we get

Width =  

Substituting the values in the above formula

Width =

Width = 2x + 1
